His mother was taken to Jinnah Hospital where she died after about three hours. Police sources added that the judge reached the police station and abused police officials present, saying that the incident was an accident, while demanding to know why his son was arrested.
His wife’s body was handed over to him and he took it to his native city in Mianwali.
Sources in the police said that the judge and his wife had developed clashes over some domestic matter and used to exchange harsh words. Asia had accused her son of favouring his father.
