What happened: Just two days before she was due to give birth to her third daughter, a woman was allegedly strangled to death by her husband and mother-in-law, in Narowal, Punjab. Details : 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 taunted her for having daughters in conjunction 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 going to have a daughter. He claims that they forced her to get an abortion twice in the past in order to prevent the birth of a baby girl, and eventually strangled her to death just days two before her delivery.
More : Ishrat’s body was taken into police custody and transported to the THQ hospital for an autopsy. They filed a complaint against Saleem and Rashida Bibi, and after a postmortem and other formalities, they handed over the body to the next of kin. DSP Malik Mohammad Khalil of the Shakargarh Circle said police had filed a case and will proceed with the action after checking the charges.
