Nazira Begum (28), mother of three, died of a bullet allegedly fired from a 12-bore gun and her body was recovered from the house at Satrina village of Kangan, 40 kms from here, a police officer said.
He said her husband Ghulam Hassan Chohan (40), posted with 193 battalion BSF in Rajasthan, was detained for questioning after his father-in-law accused him of murder.
The jawan had returned home on leave some days back.
He said it is premature to say anything about the incident.
"We are yet to receive the autopsy report...The investigation is on," the officer said.
