HYDERABAD: Woman seeks protection

Published December 3, 2008

HYDERABAD, Dec 2 A mother of four children has sought protection from the alleged atrocities of her husband, and his brothers.

Shabnam Mashori w/o Ali Sher Qambrani and resident of katchi abadi Goth Budho Palari Qasimabad asked the authorities to provide her security as Ali Sher Qambrani had entered into a second marriage without her permission and threw her, along with the children, out of the house.

Speaking at a press conference at the press club on Tuesday, Shabnam disclosed that the house was her property. She further alleged that her husband had also occupied the piece of plot which she acquired for the children after disposing of the jewellery she possessed.

She said that her husband and his brothers were constantly harassing her which had put her life in danger.

Although she had informed the SHO and the TPO Qasimabad of the atrocities being committed by her husband and his brothers but so-far no action was taken. She warned that whosoever buys the house or plot would be doing on own.

Appealing for security she declared to hold responsible her husband and his brothers if harm was done to her or the children.
