UMERKOT, July 21: Police on Thursday registered an NC against female in-laws of a woman for torturing and abandoning her in injured condition.

The victim was hospitalized after narrating her ordeal at the police station.

Ms Rehmat Palli of Sadhar village reached the Dhoronaro police station in bruised condition from head to toe. Narrating her sufferings, she said that her son was engaged to the daughter of her husband's brother two years ago and she faced humiliation for insisting on fixing marriage date.

A day earlier she again asked her brother-in-law Mitho Pilli to fix wedding date on which his two daughters Zeenat and Husna along with another woman Zohran attacked Rehmat Pilli with batons and bricks and left her in a pool of blood to die.

“This was the fourth such instance as on three earlier occasions I faced similar fate but at the hands of male-in-laws. My life is full of misery,” she said.
