WAZIRABAD – October 10, 2025: In a shocking case of domestic violence, a 22-year-old newlywed woman was allegedly killed by her in-laws after being forced to drink acid over a dowry dispute in the outskirts of Wazirabad. The brutal incident has sent shockwaves through the local community, prompting calls for swift justice.
According to police and family sources, the victim, identified as Rukhsar from Gujranwala, was married to Altaf Hussain of Kala Sike on September 12, 2025. Within days of the wedding, tensions reportedly arose over the dowry. The victim’s family alleged that Rukhsar’s in-laws — particularly her husband, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law — subjected her to mental torture and constant taunts regarding insufficient dowry.

The bereaved family has appealed to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and the Inspector General of Police to ensure justice and exemplary punishment for those responsible. The incident has reignited debate over dowry-related violence, which continues to claim lives despite existing laws banning the practice.
