The victims suffered severe burns and were shifted to Mayo Hospital, where they remain in critical condition.\n\nPunjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif directed officials to ensure immediate medical assistance to the victims.\n\nPunjab Women Protection Chairperson Authority Hina Parvez Butt visited the hospital, met the victims’ family, and assured full support, including medical, legal and psychological assistance.\n\nShe directed the doctors to provide the best possible care.\n\nPolice confirmed the arrest of the suspect and said an investigation is under way.\n\nButt condemned the attack as a “heinous and unforgivable crime,” adding that those responsible for violence against women and children would face strict legal action.\n\nThe post Man held for setting wife, three daughters on fire over delayed meal appeared first on HUM News.",
