The Police also arrested her husband who is said to be the main accused involved in this incident. Meanwhile, conflicting reports have emerged regarding the husband’s name, with some reports referring to him as Zubair. However, the ambiguity remains as to whether ‘Zubair’ is an alias or part of Shahzad’s full name.
The Investigating Officer (IO) of the case confirmed the incident, stating that (prima facie) the victim “attempted suicide” as a result of domestic violence/disputes. The FIR did not specify the exact cause that led to the horrifying event and omitted any mention of a dispute arising from her alleged failure to properly season the chicken.
However, the official added that further investigations were underway to explore various aspects of the incident.
A day after the incident, Chief Minister of Pakistan’s Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif also shared the images of the accused husband who was arrested by the Police in this case. In her post, she also confirmed that the woman was thrown off the building for not serving “quality food”.
