A woman told the Pinyari police that her maternal aunt’s husband (khalo) Ali Raza would often come to her home when her brothers were out for work. He would sexually assault her and threatened her of being killed as a kari, and also killing her mother, if she opened her mouth.
The ordeal continued for two years, however, on Saturday, Raza brought along the victim’s mammon (brother of her mother) and he too raped her, the victim stated.
