ISLAMABAD: Former MNA Faiz Tamman was arrested in Rawalpindi on Friday for allegedly forcibly marrying a female relative and keeping her in illegal confinement, police said.
Tamman was arrested after the suspected victim's sister filed a complaint against him in the Rawat police station, accusing the ex-lawmaker of of marrying the victim through emotional and physical abuse, blackmail and drug abuse, and attempting to seize her property.
The complaint states that Tamman was a distant relative of the victim, an unmarried orphan, and had allegedly offered to help her, but instead took her to his home and eventually married her by manipulating and drugging her.
