Police and family sources said that Zainab Bibi, wife of Akram, went to fetch water from a nearby spring leaving behind her six months old daughter.

During her absence the infant kept on crying which infuriated her mother-in-law who snubbed Zainab on her return.

The sources said Zainab locked herself in a room and hanged from a ceiling fan.
