Sadaf Zahra had also talked about domestic abuse in her twitter thread and had advocated against it
Domestic abuse is an incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading and violent behaviour..It is very common..In the vast majority of cases it is experienced by women..

Under the lieu of multiple charges including murder, violence, and blackmail, Ali Salman Alvi was put behind bars.
It is hoped that good officers of @RwpPolice will not be influenced. They’ve arrested the accused. FIR mentions signs of torture on body. The racket of extortion & blackmailing of women also needs to be investigated to bring the GANG to justice.#JusticeForZahra pic.twitter.com/UZSpe2AlHd

Social media activist/TV Producer Ali Salman Alvi is a pathological womaniser, blackmailer & murderer of his wife!
Those who give sermons of morality on Social Media are mostly highest order perverts themselves.
Hope he’s hanged for his crimes.#JusticeForZahra pic.twitter.com/yLV6wTkTaL— Mona Alam (@MonaAlamm) July 8, 2020
With prayers and the hope that justice is served, we here at MangoBaaz are praying for Zahra and her family’s peace.
