Bahawalnagar man beats wife to death for giving birth to daughter

His second wife and mother aided the crime

In a shocking incident, a woman was allegedly murdered by her husband in the Khadam area of Bahawalnagar for giving birth to daughters.

The victim, Shumaila Bibi, a resident of Kot Radha Kishan, had married Nauman from Khadam Abad Colony, Bahawalnagar, of her own choice.

The couple had two sons and four daughters. However, Shumaila faced constant abuse from her husband and in-laws for not bringing dowry and for giving birth to daughters.

On August 2, 2024, Shumaila gave birth to her fourth daughter, who tragically passed away shortly after. Despite the loss, the abuse from Nauman and his family continued. In a fit of rage, Nauman allegedly married another woman, Nabela Bibi.

Nauman, along with his mother and second wife, brutally assaulted Shumaila, allegedly using a gas cylinder. The attack resulted in her death.

The police, upon receiving a complaint from Shumaila’s brother, registered a case against Nauman at the City B Division Police Station and arrested him.

The deceased’s body was sent to the District Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
