Man kills daughter in Manghopir area

KARACHI pitiless man killed his teenage married girl for honour in the Manghopir area of Karachi. According to details, the 19-year-old girl went missing from her husband’s house and informed his father-in-law about the missing of her wife. Later, the girl was recovered from the Quaidabad area and brought back home. The girl’s father axed her to death for honor and buried her body near his house.

On the complaint of the deceased girl’s husband, police registered a case into the incident, and the girl’s body will be exhumed on the court’s orders for further investigation. In October 2016, the joint session of parliament passed long-awaited legislation closing a loophole that allowed people who killed for “honor” to walk free. The legislation, passed unanimously by the National Assembly, mandates life imprisonment even if the victim’s relatives forgive the murderer.

A family member said a five-year-old girl died after allegedly being administered a wrong injection in Ubauro on Thursday. The incident took place in a suburban village, Deen Muhammad Kush. The girl’s father, Iqra, said they had gone to a local doctor for cough treatment. “The girl died soon after she was injected,” he claimed. “Shaban Soomro is a quack. He could not even produce his degree when asked,” he added. He demanded that a case be registered against the quack, and an arrest be made.
