FAISALABAD (HRNW): A dramatic scene unfolded at District Council Chowk today as a woman staged a sit-in protest against a high-ranking police official, claiming she had been deceived and abandoned after marriage.
The woman, who sat on the road blocking traffic, identified herself as the wife of SP Iqbal Town, Saeed Ahmed. She publicly alleged that the SP had entered into a marriage with her but has since gone into hiding and is refusing to acknowledge their relationship or fulfill his marital obligations.
Incident Highlights:
