Sabir said that his second wife had previously jumped from their house, which is a three-storey building.

Earlier, a statement was given by Sabir’s wife that an ‘Aamil’ instructed her to hammer a nail into her skull when she found out that she was about to deliver a daughter again from an ultrasound.

She got injured and was rushed to Lady Reading Hospital, and underwent emergency surgery to remove the nail from her skull.

The woman left the hospital with her family after the nail was removed from her head.
