Anti Terrorism Court (ATC) has ordered that two men have their ears and noses cut off, as punishment for doing the same to a woman who refused to marry one of them.
Fazeelat Bibi, a resident of district Kasur, was abducted by Sher Mohammad and Amanat along with three others as she returned home from work at a brick kiln in the Raiwind area of Lahore.
Those torturing her were identified as her maternal cousins.
Fazeelat had to suffer because her mother had refused to marry her with one of them.
Not only Fazeelat suffered due to the heinous act but her mother died on the spot as she suffered a heart attack after seeing her daughter’s condition.
Only 3 of the 5 people involved in the violence could be arrested. According to Fazeelat’s brother, Sabir, relatives of the two remaining culprits are threatening the family in order to stop them from taking any action against them. Even after the court’s decision, sister of the culprits believes that her brothers are not at fault and they are victims of old rivalry.
