LAHORE

An additional district and sessions court Tuesday acquitted a man of charges of murdering his wife after parents of the girl submitted before the court that their son in law was not their actual accused. 

The mother of the victim submitted that her daughter committed suicide and was not murdered by her son in law.

It is worth mentioning that accused Abdul Ghafoor had two marriages and had allegedly murdered his one wife, Nazia, over the issue of his second wife.

Perveen Javed, mother of victim Nazia, and complainant Abad Ali, stepfather of the victim, recorded statement before the court stating they have no objection if the accused is acquitted as he is not their actual accused and they implicated him by mistake. While Perveen Javed submitted that she is satisfied that her daughter committed suicide and was not murdered by their son in law Abdul Ghafoor. The court acquitted the accused of murder charges.
