The incident is a sign of just how dirty Pakistani politics can get and comes after one of the family members lost in a local election to his own cousin. The one who lost then allegedly paid the cook $500 to poison the food at his cousin’s house.
In parts of Pakistan, politics have been known to divide families, leading to feuds that have lasted for decades.
