DIJKOT:

A three-month-old boy died after his father punched him during a domestic quarrel.

According to a police spokesperson, Sonia, a resident of Samundri, reported that the suspect, her husband Haider Abbas, frequently argued with her over minor issues.

They had three children, three-month-old Ali Husnain, two-year-old Ali Hassan, and five-year-old Kiran. Ten complainant said her husband returned home in the night and abused and thrashed her.

During the quarrel, Ali Husnain was punched by his father and died instantly.

Hearing Sonia’s screams, neighbours Ali Imran and Sohail went to the scene, prompting the suspect to flee. The woman said the suspect, who was unemployed, regularly abused her.

Samundri City Police took custody of the body and later returned it to the family after completing legal formalities.

The police said they were investigating the incident.

Earlier on July 20, a man had killed his pregnant wife after he came to know that she would give birth to their third daughter. The incident happened at Chak 210RB Lakhwana.

Complainant Syed Mudassar Abbas alleged in his first information report (FIR) registered with Khurrianwala police that his sister Aiman Fatima, 28, was the mother of two daughters aged three and one-and-a-half years. She was again pregnant with a third child.
