According to police officials, Ghaziabad resident Abdul Jabbar tortured his wife and damaged her backbone over a property dispute in the limits of Millat Town police station. Shehzadi Fatima married Abdul Jabbar who demanded that she demand her property share from her parents. “She refused to ask for her share and kept saying that her parents would give her the money whenever they wanted to,” said a neighbour Farzana.
On her repeated refusal, Arshad tortured Fatima and began kicking her and beating her with a lead pipe. He eventually damaged her backbone and doctors have said that Fatima’s backbone has been broken and she may never walk again.
Farima was shifted to the DHQ hospital in critical condition, while the accused fled the scene after shaving his wife’s head and threatening to kill her if she told the police. “He said he would kill me because I refused to back down to him. Now I will never walk again,” Shehzadi Fatima said.
Millat Town police have registered a case against the accused on the complaint of Fatima and her family and police have started an investigation.

The headline is not fitting and making light of such a serious matter of yet another incident of hate crime and brutal violence against a woman.
The greedy scum, whose in no way entitled to his wife's inheritance clearly couldn't care less about her rights and instead wanted to just get it into his hands himself, didn't just stop at breaking her back and paralyzing her, he freakin' shaved her head clearly to shame her.
He should be caught and locked up forever for torture and attempted murder, if not forfeit his own life.
