Mr. Khan said, his sister was married to 47-year-old accused-Jamal Nasir in May 2016. After the marriage, they got to know that Nasir lied to them and the place where he was living was taken on rent.  “About one-and-a-half year ago, the two of them shifted to a rented house in Madangir and then shifted to another rented accommodation about four months ago,” he said.
