A man chopped off his wife’s nose and hair after a dispute broke out between them in Azad Kashmir’s Poonch district on Friday, according to local media.
According to reports, 17-year-old Tayyaba wanted to meet her family but her husband did not allow her to leave which prompted a quarrel in their home at Androt area in Poonch. As the dispute turned into a fierce brawl, the husband reportedly took Tayyaba to a nearby field where he tied her to a tree, chopped off her nose and hair before she fainted.
The victim was in her parents’ home for the past four to five months due to acrimony and was brought back by her spouse on Tuesday after reconciliation.
Police have launched investigation into the incident and search operations are being carried out to arrest the alleged perpetrator.
