The girl’s family is said to have committed the murder on the orders of a local jirga (traditional council of elders). Another girl seen in the same viral video was also sentenced to death by the jirga, but was rescued by the police before the sentence could be carried out.
The killing of the girl has sparked outrage in Pakistan. Many people are demanding an end to honor killings. Speaking to ARY News, District Police Officer (DPO) Mukhtiyar Tanoli said that the police are investigating the incident. The girl’s family has been arrested.
Due to the murder of the girl and the increasingly violent incidents, the boys seen in the video have gone into hiding somewhere. The girl’s body was shifted to a nearby health facility for postmortem and later returned to the family.
Another girl in the video said that she had no threat to her life from her family and wanted to go with them, police said.
A senior police officer told Geo TV, “We have started an investigation to find those who killed the girl child and who advised or convened a jirga and awarded her the death penalty.”
