NAROWAL: A youngster was allegedly tortured and bitten on his earlobe by his father for demanding pocket money here on Thursday in Sufipura locality of Sialkot.

Talking to Dawn, Shazia Bibi said: “My husband is a graduate and holds a diploma in architecture. Tanveer has been working in Dubai for 25 years and is now in Pakistan for the last four years. He has enough property and there are no quarrels over finances.”

Shazia alleged hat her husband had been torturing her since marriage. She said many a times she left her husband’s house and went to her parents with her children but Tanveer managed reconciliation by involving relatives.

“Six months ago, Tanveer kicked me and my children out of the house. My two sons and I were at my parents’ house and Abdullah was at home with his father,” she said.
