They took her to Hafizabad, shot her twice and threw her in the canal after putting her in a sack, presuming that she was dead.

She was wounded in her cheek and her right hand. Her relatives fled the scene, he said, and after minutes in the water she regained consciousness and struggled to the bank, where passers-by helped her.

Her condition is out of danger and we have registered a case against her family on her complaint.

Police had raided her father's home in the nearby city of Gujranwala but all the suspects had disappeared.

Police is still trying to investigate the case and nab the accused.
