ISLAMABAD: Asif, the spouse of deceased Sumayia, said on Monday that he did not have suspicions on anybody over the mysterious death of his wife.
Talking to Daily Times, he said Sumaiya often used to go to Lahore with his permission. This time she was insisting to take him along but he could not go due to his official engagements.

To a question, he said that any PML-N leader did not contact him in Islamabad after Sumaiya’s death. He said that Chaudhary Ashraf is the paternal uncle of Sumaiya’s mother so he has no suspicions regarding him.
