Rawalpindi’s RA Bazaar Police arrested a man accused of assaulting his wife and attempting to strangle her, officials said on Friday. According to a police spokesperson, the complainant stated that her husband, along with her mother-in-law and father-in-law, subjected her to violence and tried to take her life by putting a noose around her neck.
The FIR further alleges that the woman’s in-laws were pressuring the husband to contract a second marriage, which led to the violent incident.
SP Potohar Talha Wali said that violence, harassment, or abuse against women and children is intolerable, adding that strict action will be taken against those involved.
