SARGODHA:
A man allegedly killed his 18-month-old daughter on the instructions of a fake faith healer after he said that she is a 'bad omen' for him in Sargodha on Tuesday.
Mateeur Rehman, the suspect, had recently divorced his wife, Sundas Bibi, and taken custody of the victim.
Misguided by the fake faith healer, he proceeded to take his own daughter's life after he was told that she would prove 'unlucky' for him.
Local police registered a case after Sundas filed a complaint in this regard.
Man kills stepmother, two stepsisters in Lahore
Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has taken notice of the incident and called for the Punjab inspector general of police (IGP), as well as, Sargodha district police officer (DPO) to form a joint investigation team to probe the matter.
Authorities have thus far arrested six suspects including the alleged culprit during the investigation.
Last month, a man allegedly shot his stepmother and two stepsisters dead in Lahore’s Shadbagh area.
Buzdar took notice of the incident and issued directives to probe the matter.
Authorities found bodies of three women from a cemetery. Another girl — sister of the suspect — had been reportedly injured and shifted to a hospital for medical care.
