As Pakistan remains shaken by the Daska Horror, another case of domestic violence has emerged from Punjab, where a man assaulted his wife with a heated iron rod, ARY News reported.

According to reports, the suspect, identified as Abid, used a heated iron rod to burn his wife’s body and beat her with a stick.

However, Sana, a mother of two young girls, managed to escape and reach her parents’ home who moved her to Allied Hospital for medical treatment.

The victim’s mother filed a complaint at the local Women’s Police Station, detailing the domestic violence. The complaint said that Sana and her sister Rabia were married into the same family to two brothers named Abid and Atiq.

Rabia had previously divorced (Khula) her husband, Atiq, due to constant taunts about her inability to conceive. Following this, Abid, seemingly holding a grudge over the divorce, regularly subjected Sana to physical violence. He even kept her locked up at home and threatened to kill her, she claimed in her complaint.
