A newlywed couple was shot dead inside a mosque in Jehlum on Wednesday in what is suspected to be a case of honour killing.

Rehman Rasool and Safia recently eloped to get married of their own free will. They were then called in by the girl’s family for reconciliation. Sensing the possible threat, the two of them took refuge in a mosque’s courtyard but got gunned down by the family, nevertheless.

The unfortunate incident happened on Wednesday in the outskirts of Pind Dadan Khan where the two of them took sanctuary in a mosque adjacent to the motorway. The killers managed to escape.

A local shephard informed the police of the murder. The bodies were taken to Tehsil Headquarters Hospital for a post-mortem examination.

Raids have been carried out to arrest the suspects while an investigation has also been launched
