According to police officials, Sambrial resident Muhammad Arif threw acid on his former wife Afsana Bibi, 19, for not forgiving him for hitting her and for refusing to patch up with him after the divorce.

She received serious burn wounds and was admitted to the Government Allama Iqbal memorial DHQ Hospital in critical condition.

Afsana Bibi was married to Muhammad Arif a few years ago and divorced him two months after accusing her husband of abusing her.Neighbours told police that Arid was abusive and that his wife had tried to leave him for months.

Sambrial police have arrested accused Arif and his friend Naeem and have registered a case and started investigation.
