Background

A domestic fight took a lethal turn in Chak 520 GB of Toba Tek Singh when a man identified as Asghar poisoned tea following an altercation with his wife and then fled the house, reports The Express Tribune.

His wife Nadia, along with her husband’s daughter from a previous marriage, Iqra, 12, their children Saniha, 17, Madiha, 18, and Ali Hassan, 7 fell critically ill after consuming the tea.

Nadia informed Rescue 1122 about the altercation and poisoning. Rescue teams provided initial medical aid to all affected family members. They were then transferred to DHQ Hospital Toba Tek Singh for further treatment. However, the four children Iqra, Saniha, Mediha, and Ali Hassan lost their lives, succumbing to the effects of the poison, while the condition of the remaining family members remains critical.

Due to the severity of their condition, Nadia and one of her daughters have been referred to Allied Hospital, Faisalabad.

Preliminary investigation by the police suggests the consumption of poison. Financial constraints and frequent domestic disputes between the husband and wife are believed to have contributed to the tragic incident. The Toba Tek Singh Police have registered an FIR against Asghar and initiated an investigation.
