New Delhi: In a horrific incident that took place in Pakistan's Sindh province, a man killed and boiled his wife in a cauldron in front of his six children, said a media report on Thursday. According to Pakistani media reports, the body of the deceased Nargis was found in a large pot 'cauldron' kept in the kitchen of a private school. This school is located in Block 4 of Gulshan-e-Iqbal locality. 

The 15-year-old daughter of the couple informed the police helpline about the incident. After this, the police of Mobina police station reached the spot.

East Karachi SSP Abdur Rahim Sherazi said that the husband of the deceased woman, Ashiq, from Bajaur Agency worked as a watchman at the school and lived in the servant quarters with his family.

He told that this school has been closed for the last eight and nine months. The accused watchman absconded with his three children after this gruesome incident. Three other children have been taken into custody by the police. "They are shaken and traumatised," said SSP Sherazi.

Preliminary investigation and children's statements suggest that the suspected accused first strangled his wife to death with a pillow and then boiled her in a cauldron in front of his children. 

The exact reason behind the incident is not yet known, but according to the Pakistani newspaper The News, the husband allegedly forced his wife to have relations with other people. When she was not ready for this, he killed her. Police is looking for the accused after registering a case.
