The petitioner as he was acquitted in the case two months back in Karachi, he came to know that the inspector and his in-laws prepared a forged divorce deed to nullify his marriage. The petition said afterwards his wife, Khais Bibi alias Sapna, was married to the inspector.

The petition also alleged that after the “illegal marriage”, the three children were handed over to an Edhi home by declaring them destitute.

He maintained that his wife, Sapna, is the sister of Khais Bibi. The inspector produced a nikahnama (marriage deed) before the court, saying he married Sapna on November 11, 2009.
