BAHAWALPUR: A man was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly killing his second wife over an argument about not divorcing his first wife.

Police said Ghulam Yaseen, a resident of Ghanna village, had married Malookan Mai in 2012. He had a daughter from this marriage and Mai was six-month pregnant with a second child. They said Mai had been insisting forcing Yaseen to divorce his first wife.

On Wednesday, they again had an argument that ended in Yaseen shooting Mai who died on the spot.

Some neighbours heard the gunshots and rushed to their home. Police were informed and Yaseen was arrested. The body was sent to tehsil headquarters hospital for a post-mortem examination.

Allah Jawaya, the father of the deceased, said that Yaseen had earlier tried to kill Mai last year by trying to poison her with mercury. He said the matter was not reordered to the police after Yaseen apologised and promised to divorce his first wife.
