Pakistani authorities arrested 13 individuals, including a tribal leader, in Balochistan for the alleged honour killing of Bano Bibi and Ehsan Ullah. The couple was reportedly killed following an order from the tribal leader after being deemed guilty of engaging in an immoral relationship. This incident has garnered national attention, and police have confirmed that they are investigating further, with more arrests anticipated, including the brother of the victim who remains at large. Honour killings are a pervasive issue in Pakistan and India, often linked to family or tribal dishonour.
The arrests followed nationwide outrage over a video depicting the murders, with many calling it yet another case of honour killing, a phenomenon reported from across South Asia.
Honour killings, mainly reported from Pakistan and India, arise from perceived family or tribal dishonour, especially in love marriages, where partners marry without consent.
The FIR names eight suspects and lists 15 unidentified suspects, explaining that the couple was allegedly brought before a tribal leader who declared them guilty.
Balochistan police are investigating further and are likely to make additional arrests, including that of Bano's brother, who is suspected of the murders.
