(Punjab) 26-year-old Fayaz Aslam thought that his bid to marry the pretty young girl he fancied would be accepted if he asked on the first day of Ramadan. But alas, 20-year-old Sidra Shaukat's parents wanted something better for their daughter, so they kindly refused. Stung by rejection, Fayaz went out, bought a can of petrol and returned to the Shaukat household where he poured the contents of the can over Sidra and set her on fire. She died from her injuries.
