Farrukh Imtiaz Khokhar’s wife has been found dead in Dhoke Gangal house in Rawalpindi on Sunday.
A mother of four, Ramsha was found to have signs of strangulation around her neck.
According to her brother, Ali Raza, she was murdered by her husband before her body was hanged from a ceiling fan of his house.
As per an FIR lodged by Raza with the Airport police, Ramsha married her cousin Farrukh Khokhar about 14 years ago.
He added that Khokhar had been mistreating his wife and would often threaten to kill her.
He was also involved in a relationship with a girl and would take her to other countries.
Five days before her murder, Ramsha informed Ali Raza and her father that Farrukh had threatened to kill her.
Farrukh had gone to Qatar with his girlfriend and returned at 3am on Sunday. According to the FIR, he started taunting and abusing his wife as soon as he reached home.
Ali Raza received a phone call around 9 am from his brother-in-law, Mohammad Imtiaz, who informed that Ramsha was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her husband’s house.
Raza and his other brother-in-law, Umar Imtiaz, hurried to Farrukh’s house and found Ramsha hanging with her dupatta tied around her neck.
“My sister had died. There were two marks of strangulation around her neck and nothing was lying under her body,” he highlighted in the FIR.
In the FIR, he also claimed that Farrukh called him on WhatsApp and threatened him of dire consequences.
Raza believes that Farrukh killed his sister with the help of his brother Samar Imtiaz.
The police has taken the body to the District Headquarters Hospital for postmortem.
As per the initial police report, Ramsha’s body was lying on the floor and black marks were found around her neck.
