Victim Ume Kulsoom was a married woman and the mother of three differently-abled children.

Her late father had equally distributed property worth millions of rupees among his sons and daughters. However, her brother Abdul Qayyum Ghazi was adamant not to give her a share in the said property, despite it being her legal right.

Despite repeated attempts, the brother refused to honour the request. In a bid to claim her share in the property she approached the court and filed a case against Abdul Qayyum.
