In a shocking incident, a minor boy reportedy killed his mother after she had refused to buy him new clothes for Eidul Fitr.
The incident occurred on Friday in Mohallah Gulzarabad, Pakpattan.
Despite the efforts of Rescue 1122, 35-year-old Sobia tragically succumbed to her injuries after being stabbed in the abdomen. Sobia, a tailor who worked from home, supported her family alongside her husband, Abdul Sattar, a daily wage laborer.
According to Abdul Sattar, Abdullah had been persistently asking his mother for money. Sobia reassured him that she would buy clothes once she received payments from her customers. On the day of the incident, when Sobia refused again, Abdullah, in a moment of frustration, grabbed a pair of scissors and stabbed her.
Pakpattan city police transported Sobia’s body to DHQ Hospital for an autopsy and took Abdullah into custody. However, no case was registered due to his minor status.
District Police Officer (DPO) Javed Chadhar revealed that three affidavits were submitted by Sobia’s father, grandmother Shamim Akhtar, and uncle Maqsood, all claiming the incident was accidental and requesting no legal action against the child. He assured that all legal protocols would be followed, adding that Abdullah would be presented before a magistrate along with the affidavits and was expected to be released by the evening.
