Rawalpindi Honour-Killing Case Registered as Dense Fog Closes Major Motorways

An FIR names two suspects, alleging an honour motive.

Overview

  • Police say Samira Aziz was shot dead inside a home in Wah Cantt’s Lala Zaar Colony after returning from Qatar about a week earlier.
  • The case was filed by Sub-Inspector Asif Iqbal under honour-killing provisions, with Waleed and Israr identified as suspects who fled the scene.
  • The FIR alleges her husband, Sulaiman, saw her speaking by phone with a non-relative in Qatar and ordered the killing.
  • Officers took custody of the body while it was being moved to a hospital, and investigators are pursuing the named suspects.
  • Separately, dense fog shut stretches of M1, M2, M4, M5 and M11, police blamed fog for a three-fatality crash on the Mehran Highway, and Karachi imposed a two-month ban on road excavation.
