SAHIWAL: A married woman was allegedly poisoned to death by her parents for honour in
village 111/EB, Arifwala, on Sunday.
The Ahmedyar police arrested Sadiqan Bibi and her husband Subhae Sadiq on the complaint of
deceased Bisma Kausar’s husband Nasir Ahmed. The police said both suspects have confessed to
their crime.
According to reports, six months ago, Bisma, of village 111/EB, was married to Nasir in village
79/EB. Allegedly, Bisma was not willing to marry Nasir and had an affair with Imran, a fellow
villager.
After the marriage, Bisma eloped with Imran, prompting her mother Sadiqan to file a case
against Ismail and Imran at Arifwala Saddar police. However, Bisma, in court, testified in favour
of Imran and Ismail, claiming that she had left Nasir’s house due to mistreatment.
The case was dropped and Bisma was returned to her parents’ home.
A few days ago, Nasir requested Bisma’s parents to return her, to which they reluctantly agreed.
However, Bisma refused to return to Nasir’s house, to which her parents administered poisonous
pills to her in her food. The police shifted the body to Arifwala Tehsil Headquarters Hospital.
