BAHAWALNAGAR: Police claim to have arrested a man who tortured his wife after tying her upside down over her refusal to allow him to contract second marriage with her sister.

The arrest was made after the IGP took notice of the incident a video of which went viral on social media. The man can be seen clubbing his wife after tying her legs and feet with a rope and hanging her upside down.

Police sources said Muhammad Hussain, a resident of Ranjheywala village, tied the knot with Shamim Bibi 10 years ago and the couple had two children. They said the couple developed differences and Hussain would torture his wife as he expressed his desire to marry his sister-in-law but his wife opposed it.

Sources said Shamim’s family often voiced concern over the brutality of her husband but he would intimidate them into silence. They said Hussain again tortured his wife while tying her legs and feet with a rope and hanging her upside down just two days ago. The suspect, they said, also recorded the torture video and later uploaded it on social media.
