The police on Tuesday registered an FIR and arrested four accused in the murder of two girls and their mother on Sunday night after a family video surfaced showing two teenage girls enjoying rain in their house. Their mother was also gunned down allegedly by her stepson and his four friends.
Earlier, five masked men barged into the house of retired police officer Rehmat Nabi and started firing, killing his wife and daughters, aged 15 and 16.
According to police, the crime was motivated by a video clip circulating on mobile phones and showing girls overjoyed by rain in the lawn of their bungalow.
The video, recorded six months ago, was circulated in the area four months later probably after a relative sent it to his friends.
The police believed that the girls’ stepbrother Khutore took it as an “assault on the honour of his family” and tried to “restore the family’s honour” by killing the girls.
Khutore escaped when police tried to get in touch with him for investigation. However his four friends were arrested and according to a senior police official, they had confessed to the crime.
l tell me what is dishonorable about 2 teenaged girls enjoying rain & in what way the honor has been restored.Something terribly wrong with the social system.
