A newly-wed bride in the suburbs of Islamabad has died while the groom is fighting for his life after consuming ‘lizard-infected’ milk, the Federal Police said on Monday.
Neighbors of the affected couple informed the police of the incident who reached the spot in no time. Upon further investigation, they found a dead lizard in the milk container which was consumed by both.
The couple had tied the knot just last month and had been living in Jhangi Sayedan, a village in Islamabad Capital Territory.
Relatives of the deceased have refused calls to carry out the autopsy. The body of the bride has been subsequently handed over to them, the police said.
The groom however, remains in critical condition at a local hospital till the filing of this story.

Open Sale of Hazardous Milk in Islamabad
Earlier in May, it was reported that as many as 46 milk spots in the city are selling hazardous milk, which has contributed to a rise in various diseases in the federal capital.
During a lab test, it was found that out of 52 milk samples, 46 of them were declared unsuitable for human consumption.
According to Punjab Pure Food (PPF), a healthy milk sample should contain at least 14 percent of solids. But these samples taken from Islamabad ranged from 5.2 percent to 9.48 percent. This, according to PPF, is not only below standards but also toxic to human health.
So which one is the best for consumption?
I’m scared we also use olpers for our children.. Is this suitable for us or not
Haleeb is safe more than any others
No i have used haleeb and i found some whitish solids at the bottom of the pack..so never bought it again
Yes, obviously Olpers and Nestle are good options. Usually people avoid these packed milk. While these packed milks are far better than fresh milk.
