MULTAN: A man threw acid on his wife and two sons on Sunday in Multan near Dolat Gate Imambargah, police confirmed on Monday.
According to a first information report (FIR), the suspect identified as Muhammad Majid threw acid on his wife, Khadija Bano, following a domestic dispute, leaving her with facial and head burns.
The FIR was filed by Farhan Ikhlaq, the brother of the victim, Khadija Bano, at the Jalilabad Police Station.
The complainant said that, upon receiving the information at 8:45 pm on Sunday, he rushed to his sister’s house along with his brother where he saw her sister’s face burning and smoke emitting from her hair.
The two sons told Ikhlaq that their stepfather, Muhammad Majid, threw acid on the three of them and fled the house.
Furthermore, the FIR said, “The accused often fought with my sister; he wants to go back to his first wife and wants to divorce my sister. That is why he threw acid on Khadija and her sons and committed this injustice.”
“Legal action should be taken against him,” Ihlaq said.
The victim’s brother, Ikhlaq, called Rescue 1122 reporting the incident. The Rescue 1122 team reached the site and shifted the victims to Nishtar Hospital for treatment.
The emergency department said that parts of the woman’s face and head were affected by the attack.
