The judge added that the husband was later arrested and he had confessed to murdering his wife. The court observed that the accused had killed an innocent woman and awarded him a total of 32 years in jail.

The convict, who was out on bail, was immediately arrested by the police after his sentencing and sent to prison to start serving his life term.

Security for teacher

The East additional district & sessions court directed the management of a local school to provide security to a teacher who had received death threats.

The teacher, Samia Ghani, had moved an application in which she told the court that she had been teaching at a school in Block 13-D of Gulshan-e-Iqbal.

She said that recently, some bearded men pretending to be the parents of
some of her pupils threatened to kill her because they believed she was misguiding their children in religious terms.

The teacher told the court that she had approached the management of the school, but no action was taken for her safety. The court then ordered the school administration to provide security to her.
