Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti has ordered immediate action after a disturbing video showing the cold-blooded killing of a man and a woman went viral on social media.
The video, believed to have been filmed just before Eid ul Azha, shows armed men brutally shooting the victims in what is suspected to be a so-called “honour killing.”
A horrifying video emerged on social media ,depicting the brutal killing of a man and a woman in Balochistan, in the name of so-called honour, sending shockwaves across the country and beyond.
As the video spread like wildfire, the public recoiled in disbelief.
The graphic images sparked immediate outrage, igniting a firestorm of condemnation from civil society, religious scholars, and political leaders alike.
The victims, whose identities were not immediately known, were allegedly targeted by their own family or community members .
The video purportedly showed that a few armed men were apparently shooting and killing a man and a woman publicly.
In this video, all the people were speaking in the Brahui language and their accent was the same as that spoken in different areas of Quetta and Mastung.
The video is apparently made in a mountainous area where there is a desert around a dirt road.
In the beginning, several vehicles and Jeeps can be seen in broad daylight, outside of which there are several people.
The video shows people in a desert, and some pickup trucks and SUVs that they had apparently driven there.
The woman is given a copy of the Quran and she then tells a man: “Come walk seven steps with me, after that you can shoot me.”
The man then follows her for a few steps. A local police official said the woman did not cry or seek mercy.
“You are allowed only to shoot me. Nothing more than that,” the woman says in the regional Brahavi language, translated by the official.
It was not clear what she meant by “nothing more than that”. The man, who had followed her, then aimed a pistol at her.
The woman, wrapped in a shawl, stood still as shots were fired.
She remained standing after two shots, delivered from close range, dropping to the ground after the third shot.
The footage then shows a bloodied man lying on the ground, close to the woman’s body.
Then, men are shown shooting at both the bodies. Reuters could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.
