Mehmood Khan, the owner of a local fishery, said the shark was unconscious at that time and other reports said that it was found dead Tuesday.

So what is the real story behind this and what is the weight of that shark ?

Good observation.
Pakistan is one of those countries where a woman is not worth the dirt under her husband's nails.
Sad.  >:(
