Kyrgyzstan-returned MBBS female student shot dead by brother for 'honour'

In a horrifying act of violence in the name of so-called "honour", a young girl was shot dead by her brother in Haveli Lal, falling under the jurisdiction of Satellite Town Police Station, Jhang.

According to the report, the victim, who was pursuing an MBBS degree in Kyrgyzstan, had married a man of her choice a few months ago, which reportedly angered her family. 

Her brother, identified as Umair Mushtaq, opened fire on her and fled the scene immediately after the incident.

According to sources, the girl had recently returned to Pakistan and was visiting family when she was attacked in cold blood.

The local police arrived swiftly, shifting the body to the Tehsil Headquarters Hospital (THQ) for post-mortem examination. A search operation is underway to arrest the suspect.
