Bashir Ahmed had married Shamshad Bibi in June without the consent of her family. A few days later, someone had entered their house in Ahmed’s absence and had shot Shamshad Bibi. The police had arrested Ahmed on her father’s complaint. However, a month-and-a-half later, police determined that her brother, Allah Rakha, had killed her. They said the latter had confessed to the crime claiming that he had killed her “for honour”.
