Ferozwala residents are in shock after a young pregnant woman died from severe burn injuries allegedly inflicted by her in-laws over a dowry dispute.
The incident occurred on Hyder Road, where the victim, identified as Sana, was reportedly set on fire after petrol or kerosene was poured on her. Police confirmed that her mother-in-law and father-in-law fled the scene immediately.
Sana was five months pregnant at the time and sustained 70% burns to her face, arms, and body. She was rushed to Mayo Hospital in critical condition. Tragically, both Sana and her unborn child later died, marking a heartbreaking case of maternal death linked to domestic violence.
Police said Sana had married Mustafa around six to seven months ago. Investigators suspect that the attack was triggered by a dowry dispute, a common cause of domestic violence in the region. Neighbors reported hearing her screams and immediately alerted authorities and rescue services.
Authorities have launched a search for the suspects. Police confirmed that legal action will be taken against all those involved once the accused are apprehended. The local administration has pledged swift justice for the tragic death of Sana.
The brutal incident has sparked outrage among local residents, who demand strict punishment for the perpetrators. Community members expressed fear and anger, highlighting the need for stronger laws and awareness against dowry-related violence.
