DADU: The body of a recently-married woman, Amina Arain, 26, was found hanging from the ceiling fan in a room at her parents’ house in Dadu on Sunday.

The B-Section police collected the body and took it to the Dadu Civil Hospital for a post-mortem examination.

Her husband, Irfan Khoso, told the police that he and Amina had contracted a freewill marriage about two months back. He said his father-in-law was unhappy over the marriage. He said that about 15 days ago, his in-laws asked for a meeting with Amina and requested him to send her to their house. “Since then they had been keeping her in detention,” Mr Khoso claimed, and alleged that her father finally killed her.

Dadu SSP Aijaz Shaikh has said that an investigation into the matter is in progress.
