JARANWALA:
A man is said to have set fire to his ex-wife's dowry after she filed a lawsuit for child support.
Rescue teams doused the fire while Saddar police registered a case and began searching for the suspect.
According to the complaint of Muhammad Adnan Sher, a resident of 211GB, his sister Farzana Kausar had married Sajjad Rasool 12 years ago and they had four children.
A month ago, due to family issues, a dispute broke out between the couple and Sajjad divorced Farzana.
The woman's dowry, which included furniture, clothing and utensils, was locked in a room in Sajjad's house in the city of Al-Khair.
Farzana had filed a suit for maintenance and child support in the Samundri Civil Court.
In retaliation, Sajjad and his brother Yaqoob set fire to the dowry items.
Saddar police have registered a case under Section 436 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
