Sahiwal: Girl who threw acid on young man sent on physical remand

Special Judge of the Anti-Terrorism Court Sahiwal, Ziaullah Khan, approved a three-day physical remand of the accused Ayesha in the acid attack case and handed her over to the Fatah Sher police station. The court ordered the police to produce the accused again on July 29.

According to details, on the morning of July 20 at around 4:30 AM in Muslim Bin Aqeel Colony, Ayesha, harboring a grudge against 32-year-old Shahrukh, threw acid on him with the help of her accomplices Shaheen Guddo and an unidentified youth. Shahrukh was sleeping near the window of his home’s guest room at the time.

The acid attack severely burned Shahrukh’s entire body and face. It is worth mentioning that whenever Shahrukh’s parents tried to arrange his engagement or marriage, the accused Ayesha would intervene and break off the engagement, preventing any relationship from forming.

Ayesha’s mother-in-law, Shaheen Guddo, would allegedly accuse her daughter-in-law of having illicit relations with Shahrukh in the neighborhood.

In response, Shahrukh’s family secretly arranged his marriage and decided to have the ceremony at a wedding hall. When Ayesha found out about this, she became enraged and carried out the crime in a premeditated manner.

Shahrukh’s condition is critical at the hospital. Sahiwal police at Fatah Sher registered a case on the complaint of Shahrukh’s elder brother Rashid Ali under sections 336-B, 34 of the Pakistan Penal Code and Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act, and produced the accused Ayesha in court after arresting her.
