Renowned news anchor Ashfaque Ishaque Satti’s wife, Nomaika Ashfaque Satti has accused him of severe physical abuse.

Taking to Instagram, Nomaika shared distressing images of her bruised face, detailing the harrowing experience in the caption.

She stated, “I write this while suffering from multiple injuries on my entire body, my ribs, my jaw & my face. Every part of me is badly injured. I’ve been beaten almost to death by my own husband sattiashfaque.”

Nomaika explained that on Monday, January 22, Ashfaq Satti picked her up from her mother's house and subjected her to severe physical assault. During the ordeal, he engaged in character assassination and attempted to strangle her in the presence of his family. 

Nomaika added that her husband constantly issued death threats, took their son away despite her pleas for mercy in front of his mother, all to no avail.

“He beat me for hours and then locked me in my room. He took away my son ( 1.5 years old).

He left me in the dark room badly injured without food and water while I continuously begged for help.I begged for mercy. I begged him & his mother several times. She was also there at home while all of it was happening to me. I was there for days without water & food. Peeing/Vomiting profusely in pain,” she continued. 

Nomaika successfully fled from his house and sought medical treatment at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital. Despite facing resistance from authorities due to her husband's influence, she decided to publicly disclose her ordeal and managed to file an FIR against him. Nomaika emphasised that her husband has mysteriously disappeared, and the police failed to effectively address the situation. 

While reaching out for support against the influential anchor, she asserted, "Nobody deserves to bear such brutality." 

The shocking details of Nomaika's ordeal shocked everyone, and many applauded her courage in sharing her suffering instead of succumbing to fear.
