An influential landlord Thursday chopped off the nose of a girl for rejecting his marriage proposal.
Sources said that in Basti Sher Muhammad of Bahawalnagar, an influential landlord Chaudhry Jamshed Mehboob wanted to marry 20-year-old Fareeda, daughter of a local farmer Bashir Ahmed.
The man sent his marriage proposal which was rejected by parents of Fareeda as Jamshed was already married and had children. He got furious and attacked the house of the farmer.
Jamshed along with his accomplices brutally tortured the family of the local farmer besides chopping off the nose of 20-year-old Fareeda. The injured girl was shifted to District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital from where she was referred to Lahore owing to her critical condition.
The police have registered a case against the accused involved in the attack and have started raids for their arrest.
