The woman said that Babar Azam’s family and her family lived in the same locality and they were school friends. As per the woman, Babar had proposed her for marriage in 2010 and they eloped for a court wedding the following year.

“As time went along, my understanding with him deepened and we even had plans of getting married. But our families were against it. So, we decided for court marriage. In 2011, he helped me flee from my place, and promising me of court marriage, he used to keep me in rented places. I requested Babar to get married, but he kept delaying it,” the lady said in the press conference.

The woman also revealed that Babar threatened to kill her when she decided to go to the police. She also alleged that Babar had physically assaulted her. The lady said that Babar Azam got her pregnant while promising marriage. “He promised to marry me, he got me pregnant, he beat me up, he threatened me and he used me,” the woman alleged.
