PESHAWAR, Sept 30: A woman has sought a fresh inquiry into the death of her daughter-in-law who had mysteriously died a month ago.

Talking to journalists at the press club here on Saturday, Haseen Zaiba, widow of Fazal Din, of Pabbi, near Peshawar, said her daughter-in-law Gul Naz, wife of Ijaz Khan, had died on Aug 23 and had been buried the same night by her parents without registering any FIR or conducting post-mortem of the body because they had termed it a suicide.

She said she wanted to lodge an FIR because her son was working abroad but brothers and parents of Gul Naz refused, saying they did not want to be further humiliated by getting involved into police and court cases.

However, she said, when her son and a brother of the deceased returned from abroad, they registered an FIR with the Pabbi police against her married daughters Yasmeen, wife of Alam Khan, and Seema, wife of Mamraiz, and her husband and the body was exhumed for autopsy.

She said police arrested her two daughters and son-in-law Mamraiz on the charge of killing Gul Naz, who according to her, was not on good terms either with her parents or her husband.

The woman said Gul Naz’s cousin Himat Khan and brother Faraz had been issuing threats to Gul Naz because they suspected her character.

She said Gul Naz owed Rs600,000 to her brothers and had strained relations with her husband for one year. She was in tension and used to take some intoxicated drugs, the woman added.

She regretted that her son had not consulted her and implicated his own sisters in the murder case. She said her son stayed for about 15 days in his in-laws’ house and went back to the UAE after registering the FIR.

She said a local court granted bail to Yasmeen on Saturday while her other daughter and her husband were still behind the bars. She demanded an impartial inquiry into the case.
