A tragic murder in Kasur has shocked the country as a young man brutally killed his own mother following a dispute over her recent remarriage. The disturbing incident has raised fresh concerns about rising family violence and unresolved domestic tensions in rural areas.
According to Kusur Police, the victim, Sobiya Bibi, had married for the second time a short while ago. Her decision created anger within her family, especially in her son Zeeshan, who was from her first marriage. Police officials said the two had argued repeatedly over the issue, and the conflict continued to escalate in the days leading up to the crime.
Investigators stated that Zeeshan lured his mother into a banana plantation on the pretext of resolving the disagreement. Once there, he attacked her with an axe, striking her multiple times. The murder has been described by police as one of the most shocking and heartbreaking cases reported in Kasur this year.
Police teams reached the crime scene soon after receiving the report. The body was taken into custody for further legal procedures, while Zeeshan was arrested and shifted to the police station for interrogation. An official investigation into the murder is now underway, and authorities are gathering all evidence to determine the exact circumstances behind the attack.
Local residents have expressed deep sorrow, saying the incident reflects the dangers of unresolved family disputes and the emotional toll that societal pressures can create. The case has also sparked discussions about the increasing number of violence-related incidents linked to marriage choices.
In Pakistan, honor-related crimes remain a serious issue. Women are often harmed or killed by relatives for choosing their own partners or remarrying after divorce or widowhood. Despite stronger laws, weak enforcement and cultural norms continue to allow such crimes to occur, especially in rural districts like Kasur.
