A father allegedly killed his daughter and a man thought to be her partner in the name of so-called honour in the Gujjar Khan area of Rawalpindi, police have said.

 

 

According to reports, Nadeem, a resident of the Takia Baba Rahim Shah area, lived with his family, while his daughter Shanail worked at a medical complex nearby. 

 

 

Police said Shanail was reportedly involved in discussions about a potential relationship.

 

 

On Wednesday morning, Nadeem allegedly saw Shanail with a young man named Rehmanullah at home. In a fit of rage, he opened fire, killing both Shanail and Rehmanullah at the scene.

 

 

The suspect’s wife was also caught in the gunfire and sustained serious injuries from three bullet wounds. She has been shifted to a hospital for treatment.

 

 

Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Gujjar Khan Daniyal Kazmi and Station House Officer (SHO) Gujjar Khan Tayyab Zaheer reached the scene after receiving information of the firing. 

 

 

Police collected evidence from the site and shifted the bodies to a hospital. An investigation into the incident has been launched.

 

 

In a separate case earlier this year, a father shot and killed his teenage daughter and nephew in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, police said. 

 

 

The incident took place in the Lashar Abad area along Qambrani Road. Abdul Majeed, Station House Officer of Kechi Baig Police Station, identified the victims as Nazneen, 18, and Ghulam Qadir, 19.
