Tragedy Woman commits suicide

RAWALPINDI:

A woman committed suicide in RA Bazaar on late Thursday night and a man was beaten and injured over a petty dispute on Friday.

Sajida Bibi had a heated exchange with her husband Tassawar Hussain on Wednesday night over a domestic issue, soon after which, she went into a room, made a noose from her dopatta, which she used to hang herself.

On seeing her hanging, her children made hue and cry for help, which caught the attention of her husband and other members of the family who rushed to her rescue.

She was immediately taken to District Headquarters Hospital (DHQ), where she died. “She was a nice and caring woman who married Hussain six years ago. We don’t have any complaint against anybody,” said the victim’s uncle, who did not want to be named.

She left behind a three-and-a-half-year-old son and a one-year-old daughter.

In another incident, Muhammad Khan, a resident of Dhoke Chaudhrian, lodged a report with the police that Imran and his accomplices had beaten him up with sticks and iron rods. The police registered a case against the suspected men on the basis of a medical report.
