The injured women were rushed to a hospital where Fauzia, a mother of three, succumbed to her wounds while the condition of Nosheen was said to be stable.

Helper Mubashir was taken into custody and was booked in a case.

Fauzia had come to attend the marriage along with her husband, Robin Masih of Rawalpindi.
