Man held in pregnant wife's death after claim turns suspicious

KARACHI:

There has been a significant development regarding the incident of the pregnant woman's death during an alleged robbery on Friday afternoon at Fakira Goth, Parishan Chowk according to a statement released by the District East Police spokesperson.

Initially, the husband had claimed that they were targeted by robbers while travelling, resulting in his wife's death. However, the police examined the crime scene and suspected that the incident's motives could be different. The police registered the case under the charge of murder during the course of a robbery and continued the investigation.

The spokesperson said that additional evidence was gathered, revealing that the incident was not a robbery attempt, and the location of the death, as provided by the deceased's husband, was incorrect. As a result, the police took the husband into custody, suspecting his involvement in the crime. It became clear that the fatality occurred at the house, and an attempt had been made to make it appear as a robbery resistance.
