The woman suffered extensive burns and was shifted to a burns unit in Islamabad in critical condition.

According to officials at the Kutwali police station in the provincial capital, 28-year-old Salma — who had been divorced by her husband soon after their marriage — had been living with a couple in the capital for the past four years.
