DPO Imran Khan ensured that the police investigation team would interrogate the accused from all angles to ensure justice for the slain woman, who was married to the accused’s family.
Locals reported that a robbery incident had occurred at the woman’s house nine months prior, which led her in-laws to suspect her of having illicit relations. The killing allegedly took place in broad daylight at the victim’s sister’s home.
