A man has allegedly electrocuted his wife to death with the help of seven accomplices in Okara after repeatedly quarrelling with her over his desire to marry again, a private media outlet reported.
As per the details, the incident took place in the Ahmed Nagar area, where the suspect, identified as Tanveer, allegedly murdered his wife Misbah.
An FIR [First Information Report] was registered at the Cantonment Police Station on the complaint of Misbah’s mother.
Police arrested Tanveer following the registration of the case, while raids are underway at several locations to arrest the remaining suspects.
The FIR stated that Tanveer frequently argued with his wife over his desire to contract a second marriage.
It may be noted that a similar incident was reported in Kasur in May, when a man allegedly electrocuted his wife in the name of honour within the limits of Mandi Usmanwala police station.
The suspect, identified as Shakeel Ahmed, initially claimed that his wife had died from an electric shock while working at home. However, women preparing her body for burial found multiple torture marks, prompting the matter to come to police attention.
Police said that Ahmed suspected his wife’s character and subjected her to repeated electric shocks, which led to her death.
