The daughter-in-law of Islamabad IGP, Bani Amin Khan, was found dead at her father’s house in University Town on Sunday afternoon.
Father of the deceased, Darya Khan said Waheeda slipped on the stairs and died on the spot. Waheeda was a mother of two and Ali Amin’s wife. The family of four resides in Islamabad. Waheeda had come to Peshawar to visit her father and brother, Khalid Rehman.
In contrast to Darya’s claims, there were reports of Waheeda being poisoned to death. “The father and two brothers told the husband she accidently slipped on the stairs. But Waheeda’s sister alleged she was poisoned,” said an official of the Town police. He added the daughters had a dispute with their father and brothers over inheritance.
Doctors also suspected Waheeda’s death was not an accident, said the official.
According to police, an FIR has been registered. However, no arrests had been made till the filing of this report. Waheeda’s organs were sent to Lahore to test for possible poisoning, a process which can take up to two months. The deceased’s body, meanwhile, was sent to Islamabad for burial.
