SHEIKHUPURA: A father has been arrested for allegedly killing his two daughters in the name of ‘honour’ in Sheikhupura.
The victims, aged 22 and 19, were first poisoned and then electrocuted to make the deaths appear accidental, according to police.
Police officials stated that the father buried his daughters after the killings, but a case was registered four days later based on the mother’s complaint. The accused father was subsequently arrested.
In a separate incident of violence against women in Burewala, South Punjab, a group of influential men attacked the home of a school teacher over a property dispute.
The incident was captured on video.
The video shows the assailants entering the teacher’s home and attacking the women inside. The victims allege that despite the video evidence, the police have yet to register a case against the attackers.
The assailants are seen dragging the women through the streets by their hair and physically assaulting them.
