The post-mortem reports cleared that the victim was given sleeping pills before his death and hence couldn’t do much to save himself. However police in its investigation found few wounds and scratches on the neck of the accused, and hence the nails from the body were taken as samples to investigate it further by the police.

Nasir, on the other hand who was employed at a local aluminum shop, married his second wife in a bid to have a child since he couldn’t have an child with his first wife as she was a victim of burns in her childhood. The five year old girl child who was staying with the couple is claimed to be that of a cousin of the accused, however the court has asked for clarity about the child’s biological parents and has allowed her to stay with the accused until then.
