A tragic incident has taken place in Punjab’s Jaranwala town, where a young woman named Sanam Bibi, aged just 22, was fatally shot by her own uncle. The reason behind this heinous act was suspicion of alleged illicit relations, highlighting once again the prevalence of honour killings in the region.
The incident unfolded in the area of Chak 380 GB, under the jurisdiction of Rodala police station. Despite receiving prompt medical assistance and being rushed to the hospital, Sanam Bibi tragically succumbed to her injuries en route, leaving a wave of shock and grief in the community.
Upon receiving the distressing news, SP Jaranwala Abid Hussain Zafar, DSP Jaranwala and SHO Rodala Road swiftly arrived at the scene to investigate the matter. The police took possession of the deceased’s body, which was later transferred to the hospital for a post-mortem examination to gather crucial evidence.
The accused uncle, responsible for this brutal act, fled the scene following the incident, prompting a search operation to bring him to justice and face the consequences of his actions. This disturbing incident sheds light on the grim reality of honour killings that continue to plague Punjab.
Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. Honour killings have been a recurring issue in the region, with several other tragic cases coming to light in recent times. In a similar incident last year in Kahna area of Lahore, a 17-year-old girl and an 18-year-old boy were allegedly murdered by the girl’s father in the name of ‘honour’.
The victims, Farah and Adnan Maseeh, were targeted by the girl’s father after she had eloped to be with her boyfriend, causing great distress to her family. The suspect took matters into his own hands and shot the young couple, leading to their untimely demise. Police launched an investigation, collecting forensic evidence from the crime scene to unravel the motive behind this senseless act.
In another tragic incident in Havali Nathu Wala village, a man named Saeed allegedly murdered his two daughters, Alisha and Nadia, over suspicions regarding their character. The accused managed to escape, prompting a search operation by the authorities to track him down and bring him to justice.
Such incidents serve as a grim reminder of the deep-rooted societal issues that lead to these horrific acts of violence. The need for stringent measures to combat honour killings and protect the vulnerable remains paramount in ensuring justice and safety for all individuals in society..
