“Lalmon loved my son, but somehow she was indifferent to my daughter. I never thought she would commit such a crime,” Sheikh said.
Apart from strangling the little girl, Bibi also scratched her on the neck and torso before she further assaulted her. She restrained the girl and choked her until she breathed last. “I am devastated. I lost my daughter,” Sheikh said holding his tears back.
Meanwhile, local residents have come together to demand exemplary punishment for stepmothers.
