Pakistan 'Honour' Killing: Couple Shot Dead For ‘Marrying By Choice', Killers Film Act
Last Updated: Police in southwestern Pakistan arrested 11 suspects after a viral video showed a couple murdered for marrying without family approval, sparking outrage in Balochistan. A disturbing video showing a young couple being shot dead in Pakistan is going viral. As per the authorities, this is a case of 'honor killing'; the newlyweds were killed for marrying without family's approval. The video is being widely circulated and has caused an uproar in the country. Pakistan police have arrested 11 suspects in relation to the case. As per the local police, no family members came forward to report the incident. The couple has been identified as Bano Bibi and Ahsan Ullah, and the police also released names of some suspects. The viral video was viewed by The Associated Press and the police confirmed the authenticity of the footage. The killings happened in the Deghari district in the province of Balochistan, said Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti. The video shows a man killing the young couple at close range in daylight in the presence of several onlookers. In the video, several men arrive in pickup trucks in a mountainous region, and a young woman, speaking the local language, says she is legally married. 'Come, walk seven steps with me, and then you can only shoot me," she was quoted by AP as saying. However, her context was not clear. The footage further shows a man following the woman and he shoots her three times before she collapses on the ground. He then shoots and kills her husband before another man takes out a gun and joins him in shooting the groom. The video ends with both victims lying bloodied on the ground. The incident has caused a stir in the country as 'honor killing' cases are still common in Pakistan. After the video went viral, activists' demands for justice and a stop to so-called honor killings have amplified. 'The bravery shown by the slain woman is both humbling and remarkable, as she neither begged for her life nor showed any weakness," Farhatullah Babar, a Pakistani human rights activist, was quoted by AP. A tribal elder, Sardar Satakzai, ordered the couple killed after the bride's brother complained she married without his consent, said police chief, Naveed Akhtar. Both were among the 11 arrested in a series of raids, and authorities were looking for nine more suspects, he said.

We dont watch news, YouTube interviews: CJI B R Gavai
New Delhi, Jul 21 (PTI) In response to a remark asking the Supreme Court not to be swayed by the 'narratives" against the central probe agency, Enforcement Directorate, Chief Justice B R Gavai on Monday said, 'We do not watch news and watch YouTube interviews". A bench of CJI Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran was hearing a suo motu case over the ED summoning senior lawyers Arvind Datar and Pratap Venugopal for rendering legal opinions to their respective clients. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre, shared concerns and said the issue had been taken up at the highest level and the probe agency asked to not issue notices to the lawyers for rendering legal advice. Mehta, however, pointed out attempts to malign institutions by creating false narratives. 'As far as general observations are concerned, sometimes misconstrued, depending upon individual cases. I am saying this, not the ED, there is a concerted effort to create a narrative against an institution. My lords may find in a few cases where there is overstepping…," the solicitor general said. 'We are finding this (overstepping by ED) in many cases, it is not like we are not finding," the CJI said.
