In a shocking act of domestic violence, a man was arrested for setting his sister-in-law on fire after she refused to let him check her mobile phone and memory card. The horrific incident occurred in Sardarpur village near Khanewal, Punjab.
According to police reports, the suspect, Ramzan, poured petrol from his motorcycle and set Farhana ablaze after she resisted his repeated demands to access her personal data. At the time of the attack, Farhana’s husband, Yousaf, a truck driver, was away for work.

The victim suffered critical burn injuries and was initially taken to Kabirwala Hospital. Due to the severity of her condition, she was later referred to Nishtar Hospital in Multan for advanced treatment.
