A Pakistani TV actress and singer Reshma was allegedly gunned down by her husband in the Nowshera Kalan area of Pakistan.

Reshma, who reportedly was the suspect’s fourth wife used to live with her brother in a shared home at Nowshera Kalan, north Pakistan.

According to a report by Geo TV, the police revealed that the suspect had barged into Reshma’s house and shot her multiple times after a heated domestic dispute.
