Just two days before she was due to give birth to a daughter, a woman was allegedly strangled to death by her husband and mother-in-law.
Ishrat Bibi, who married Imran Saleem, a businessman from Shakargarh’s Mohallah Rashid, over 14 years ago, frequently complained about her in-laws torturing and taunting her for having two daughters and only one son.
Ishrat Bibi’s brother, Zahid Ali Shakir, informed the Shakargarh city police that Saleem tortured his sister and ridiculed her for having daughters in collusion with his mother, Rashida Bibi. Ishrat was pregnant, he added, and the lady doctor she was going to see had already told her she was having a daughter.
