A man, with the help of his brothers, subjected his wife to abuse and torture over allegedly her refusal to transfer the ownership of her property to him, according to a news channel’s report.

The man was identified as Nasir, a resident of Baqir Shah Mousa, and his brothers Ameen, Mazhar, Iqbal, and Zaman, police said, adding that a first information report (FIR) had been filed and three of the five arrested.

The five of them held Nasir’s wife — identified as Shamshad — as they shaved off her head and her eyebrows before locking her up in a room for several hours.

The woman, Shamshad, told police that her husband wanted her to transfer the ownership of a piece of land in his name so that he could sell it off. However, when she refused, he subjected her to abuse and torture.
