Ahmed claims that his sister had complained that her husband did not want a female daughter, a decision which led her father to suggest that “if you don’t want a daughter you can give her to us.”
The deceased was his second wife after his first failed marriage. He had three children from his first marriage.
The DSP Saleemullah Lashari has said that the police will investigate the matter after getting the post-mortem and forensic report.
