According to police, Younus had married Haseena, 21, two years ago. The couple spent the first year of their married life happily, but they fell apart after they had differences of opinion on several issues.  Two days ago, Younus came to his father-in-law’s village and demanded that Haseena be sent with him.

The argument between Younus and his in-laws turned to a physical fight soon. When Younus allegedly tried to attack his father-in-law, Haseena threw chilli powder in his eyes and overpowered him. While Younus was writhing in pain, she c cut off his genitals.
