A 13-year-old girl lost her life after her cousin allegedly shot her dead in Mianwali because she left her home without wearing a hijab, stated a first information report registered by her father.
The victim's father explained to law enforcement that he walked with his daughter toward a shop to purchase groceries when the accused, named Jawad, intercepted them on the route.
The official report states that Jawad verbally abused the teenager for stepping outside without a headscarf prior to discharging seven bullets from a handgun. She passed away immediately.
The grieving father claimed that the perpetrator, who is his brother's son, previously issued warnings to the girl about venturing outdoors uncovered.
Law enforcement officials noted that the crime took place a day prior to the formal report and that the killer escaped. Authorities are currently searching to find and apprehend him.
Officials filed charges based on the father's grievance under legal sections associated with honor killings.
The details regarding the argument and the suspected reason come directly from the father's official statement in the FIR. Officers have not yet made any arrests.
