The complaint lodged by the woman’s lover Zulfikar alleged that she was murdered and her body was cremated without giving any information to the police regarding her relationship.
The woman was in love with Zulfikar and apparently wanted to marry him. She got widowed two years ago when her husband met with an accident and passed away, police said.
