RAHIM YAR KHAN: A 19-year-old girl from Rahim Yar Khan lost her life in ‘the name of honour’ on Monday, reported Express News.

Ameen, a resident of the Ahsanpur area of Rahim Yar Khan, was suspicious of his daughter having an “illicit relationship” with a young man called Shakir. The suspicion led him to shoot his daughter Maqsood Bibi dead, with the help of his son Fida Hussain.

The Abadpur Police Station registered an FIR against Ameen after the victim’s uncle Khair Muhammad filed a report with the police.

The police took the girl’s body into custody and sent it for a post mortem.
