HYDERABAD, Aug 15: A woman inmate of the Darul Aman died under mysterious circumstances in the civil hospital here on Sunday morning.
The post-mortem examination of the woman, Kanwal Arain, who was expecting, was conducted at the civil hospital but the report has not been disclosed. The management of Darul Aman is maintaining silence on the incident and its in-charge, Kausar Zaman, is avoiding making any comment.
When contacted on her cellphone at 8pm, she said: “I cannot talk to you because a meeting is going on here.”

The woman had been sent to the Darul Aman from Nawabshah. An unconfirmed report said she had come from India to marry a man who had ditched her.
