Runaway couple murdered, bodies hung on tree in Chakwal
Almas Khan, belonging to the Maswal area that comes under the jurisdiction of Dhandial Police Station, had married Malik Mazhar Hussain’s daughter Shamim Akhtar. The couple had eloped to Mardan.
Hussain registered a kidnapping case in the Dhandial Police Station.
On the occasion of Eid, Akhtar’s family contacted the couple over the phone and assured them that they will be forgiven if they come back.
A day before Eid, the couple came back to the village, after which they were shot at and killed. Their bodies were hung from a tree.
The police shifted the bodies to a nearby hospital and initiated investigation.

@Dr Imran Ahmed: you mean the hindus?
@Winky: I was not referring to the Indus Valley Civilization but to prehistoric hominids. You may recall the discovery of the fossils of the "Apes of the Indus Valley". The Indus valley civilization was indeed remarkable.
@Maher: hence proved
@Zaheer: While I understand and totally agree with your emotion, read the article again, it has nothing to do with a court until someone brings in a case, which can only be done pending investigation - sue moto is reserved for the big cases or in cases where there is some hope of salvation (corruption money that can be bought back, some live that can be saved, some injustice that can be reversed) unfortunately that also makes them media worthy- merely to furnish punishment doesnt warrant a supreme court action, thats the job of the district courts - which Im sure are full of relatives of the villagers - pakistan has become a real donkey stable.
God! and I thought the 'Khaps' of Haryana that pronounced dictats were barbarians! -
@Dr Imran Ahmed: How crude of you. Indus valley polytheistic people were not apes. They were more advanced, compasionate, and inclusive than you people.
Sounds like you all have a major Muslim problem there, but at least there are 2 fewer of them now, if only they would kill each other more often and in greater numbers, then some Peace with come to the world, not total peace as there will still be evil communists and socialist sociopaths remaining
@uet: PTI has withered before blooming. So no future.
Treachery is part of the culture...nothing has changed from Ghaznavis, and Mughals to Saddam Hussain's murdered son-in-law to Pakistan.
The religious ulema bear a very heavy responsibility for not educating our misguided zealots that their actions are not only unlawful but also terrible sins.
Revenge killing is unlawful and a sin, we all know the story of Hazrat Ali R.A. and why he spared his opponent from execution when the fellow spat at him. "Honour" killing and mob killings are unlawful but we do not respect the law, maybe if is explained repeatedly and with clarity that these acts are major sins the mindsets of ignorant bigots might change.
@Uet P T I will never let the news come out thus no one will know this happening The proof? silent I K@Awans: My friend most of the negative comments are result of Indian Trolls and there automated bots so don't be offended. I wish one day ET Admin realize and block them
PTI is the solution.
And we go scream about injustice in Burma, Palestinen, Afghanistan, etc etc. Why can't our maulvis scream about this injustice here.
@Zaheer:
there is no azaad adliya. only a biased one sitting like lords at the top deciding what cases will give them the most fame and following. the concern for the citizens is nil. iftikhar chaudhry is corrupt, and must go.
In this land of pure Can someone tell us that which religion or society in world support this kind of treatment to anyone And when it happens most of the leaders keep silent thus becoming part of ityou're right, @Khuram: but its natural to care about how one appears to others, and right now we are showing clearly as very very nasty indeed
Pmln poor governance.
The practice that is known for Hindus, who buried alive their daughters, are now happening in our society. Islam does not allow this rather condemns it. Our society is reaching its bottom and even crossing Indian society, where inhumane acts are common.
@Awans - Most of the brutal cases in past few years have emerged from Punjab. Recently cases like 11 yr Christian girl, mob lynching, parading woman naked, murder, rape..you name it. I am not saying rest of the Pakistan has become heaven but my point was that Punjab province as compared to other provinces has become more prone to these kind of incidents. I think illiteracy rate is still running very high in the province which needs to be addressed.
What is so horrible about a man and woman marrying together by their own choice ?
What can be expected from this insane society??????? Shame!
@ Maher
yes. yours is a Islamic state. Surprised? That is the reason why this things are happening.
Lacking the true knowledge and values of Islam is pushing our society in the darkness. Day by day we are going far away from our religion. Therefore, the problems and worries are increasing and we are getting into problems and troubles. As a society we are not a nation, actually we are a crowd of people. As the eloping couple embarrassed their parents and family, it was a wrong way they choose. But on the other side, it was a worse example of ignorance and shamelessness that they take the law into their hands and kill them. Only by knowing the true message of Islam we can mend our ways and stop these evils soaring rapidly in our country, which was established in the name of Islam.
@Dr Imran Ahmed: know we are Arabs.........our history starts with Arab,turks etc.....Indus valeey people were kafirs they worshiped idols
@Dr Imran Ahmed: Understatement! Those apes were never accused of killing their own kind on any pretext maybe because they had less honour than us, produced no suicide bombers for others and themselves nor did they claim to be holy creatures at the same time.
Where is the AZAAD ADLIYA now? Or for them the common citizen can go to Hell while they enjoy spending all their time only on trials that are covered by live media cameras!
it gives me shivers when i read the FAMILY killed their own children, wht on earth is happening in our country!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is barbaric. Not expected in any civilized society. Murderers must be brought to justice.
You know what, I think these barbaric acts are a norm in our society.. but its only very recently that these have been brought to the fore in full public view of all through the likes of ET.
I commend ET in its drive to expose the medieval injustices meted out to eh minorities, the weak and the impoverished in this land. In this media jungle, only the likes of ET has the conscience and the motivation to "out" the inhumane treatment that is doled out to the weak of our society.
Kudos ET and please keep highlighting and showing the mirror to the rest of us.
Mian Amir should raise his silent voice & call meeting of all like minded to draft a new religious doctrine regarding limits of marriage of choice....Mashallah
And this from a country that gave us Heer Ranjha, Sohani Mahiwal !
Pakistan should be pronounced at non-Muslim country.We are the ones who are well-ahead in defaming our religion.
More violence still - such horrific ways should be meted justice immediately, made examples of to dissuade others to take the law into their own hands. Where are our justices more over?? Busy interfering in politics and over stepping their responsibilities beyond all limits instead of earning their salaries as dictated by their profession. What a rotten society.
Mashallah and I thought we are an Islamic country.. Very good..
Everyday I think Pakistani society has reached its Nadir in tolarance and humanity.
Every day I get surprised how wrong I was just a day before!
Father cheating his own child to kill her? Just because she wanted to marry someone of her choice?
The Apes of the Indus valley were probably more "humane" than the present inhabitants.
I think 90% of cases like these are from Punjab province! Why is that?
Why are we so worried how the rest of the world would see it, why not just focus on justice and equality for our own sake.
My God ! What image of Pak is being portrayed ?? Barber butchered , couple hanged , passenger slept in PIA plane and reached pairs and again back to lhr , christian girl held for blasphemy , sectarian killings . No doubt we are in deep mess :((
So much for their Honour ! Where is the honour in killing people in first place ? No doubt that police will investigate and take no further action due to lack of Evidence !
More news to show the World how "civilized" Pakistan really is!
proof how insane our society is.. there's no such thing as freedom; everyone wants to impose their "right" on everyone else and they would kill you for wanting to have freedom, liberty and a life for yourself.
