MANSEHRA:


A widow and mother of three differently disabled children accused her father and two brothers of pushing her off the rooftop on Sunday over a property dispute in Kohali Bhoonja in Balakot.


Rozina Bibi, widow of Sher Zaman, informed the authorities through a written application that her father Mir Noor Hassan, and brothers Afzal and Manzoor had earlier asked her to transfer ownership rights of her husband’s house along with a 20-marla piece of agricultural land to their name. She refused as she thought the property belonged to her three hearing and speech impaired daughters.


Rozina Bibi said the three men accosted her at her house Sunday afternoon while she was hanging clothes, assaulted her and pushed her off the roof, leaving her with a broken left foot.


The police registered a criminal case against the three under sections 341 and 354 of PPC and made arrests. However, according to the police, all three accused the complainant of being allegedly involved in immoral activities.
