Kallar Syedan (Pothwar.com, Akram ul Haq Qureshi, August 1, 2023) — A shocking incident occurred near Kallar Syedan, where a woman allegedly conspired with her husband to subject her 2nd-wife to violence, resulting in her untimely death. After the heinous act, the body was placed in a room and secured with a lock before the perpetrators fled the scene. The grim discovery was made when neighbors noticed a foul smell emanating from the room and decided to investigate, leading to the tragic finding of the deceased co-wife’s body inside.
The victim, identified as Asma, aged 26, had married against her parents’ wishes four years ago to Sharafat Ali of Narh village. Following the marriage, Sharafat Ali took both of his wives to his ancestral land in Arazi Bandi village, Kallar Syedan, where they resided in a rented house. Asma had been estranged from her family since her marriage to Sharafat Ali.
On the day of the incident, Asma’s father, Rasoolat Hussain, reported the incident to Kallar Syedan Police, informing them about the tragic demise of his daughter. According to his account, he received a call from his son-in-law, Sharafat Ali, informing him of Asma’s death. Shortly after the call ended, Sharafat Ali disconnected his phone. A while later, Asma’s sister, Shagufta, who is married to Sharafat Ali’s brother, informed Rasoolat Hussain that Asma’s body was lying in a house in Arazi Bandi village. Acting on the information, Rasoolat Hussain rushed to the location with his sons and discovered a crowd gathered outside a residence.
Upon entering the room, Rasoolat Hussain found Asma’s lifeless body with visible signs of violence, leading him to believe that Sharafat Ali had murdered his daughter along with his first wife, Ansa, and father-in-law, Muhammad Tasneem. The police have registered a case against Sharafat Ali, his brother, his father, and his first wife, Ansa, and launched an investigation into the gruesome incident.
