A woman is accused of orchestrating her husband’s murder with the help of her lover and his associate. The alleged motive stemmed from ongoing disputes over the husband’s contact with his first wife. Following the killing, the woman reportedly assisted in concealing and disposing of the victim’s body, according to police statements made on Friday.

Sufia Bano, Munna and Mohammad Iqbal were arrested on Friday, while Bano’s 16-year-old juvenile son was also arrested.
