In Pakpattan, what initially appeared to be a robbery resulting in the murder of a pregnant woman has taken a dramatic turn as the police uncovered the involvement of the victim’s husband in the crime.

Taimur Taj, the husband of the victim, Sidra Bibi, initially reported to the police that his wife was shot and killed by three unidentified assailants during a robbery attempt near village 21 EB Morr on Hota Road. However, upon further investigation, the police arrested Taj himself on suspicion of foul play.
