Safeer Ahmed said in his complaint lodged with Ganjmandi police that his sister had married Irshad Ahmed 15 years ago and had three daughters and a son. He said she had been complaining about mistreatment in the hands of her in-laws. She came to his brother`s house on Eidul Azha after she was allegedly beaten up by her sister-in-law.
Mr Safeer said he sent her back to her in-laws` house after her husband promised that she would not be mistreated again.
He said on Sunday his brother-in-law called and informed him that his sister had died in hospital. He said as he reached the hospital, his sister was lying on the deathbed with some poisonous liquid oozing out of her mouth. He alleged in the FIR that his sister was murdered by her sister-in-law and her husband by poisoning.
The police said the deceased`s husband claimed that a burglar broke into his house and poisoned his wife. But the police said the circumstances in which the woman was killed negated the husband`s claim.
The body of the woman was handed over to her brother after a postmortem. No arrests have been made in connection with the case.
Another woman, mother of three, also died apparently due to poisoning in her house in Kallar Syedan.
Shabir Hussain in his report to the police said his wife was in her room while his children were sitting in the adjoining room when he heard her screaming.
He said as he walked into his wife`s room, she was vomiting. He said he took her to the Tehsil Headquarters Hospital where doctors pronounced her dead.
Police said apparently the woman had died from poisoning but an investigation had been launched to ascertain the facts.
The body of a woman was found by the police from a greenbelt near Chowk Pindori on Sunday. The woman, who seemed to be in her 30s, had been killed about four to five days ago and the body thrown there. There was no bullet wound on the body. The police said they had received no complaint about the missing of any woman. The body was shifted to hospital for a postmortem.
