A procession of notables turned into a grand Jirga has decided the case of murder of 18-years Raheela Jeho, who had been killed by her husband, Sonal Jeho after parading her like dog and forcing her to drink poison when she asked him to grant permission for visiting her in-laws, first time after her marriage, reliable sources said.
The accused were fined Rs 2 million out of which Rs 0.6 million were waived off by father of the deceased woman named Muhammad Bux Jeho and balance amount will be paid to the parents of the young woman, who was married just six months before in exchange of Karo-Kari incident in which her cousin Nadim Jeho was declared Karo.
The alleged Jirga was reportedly headed by Sardar Zulfiqar Kamario who also led a gathering of notables which included other notables among others from Syed community including little girls holding holy books over their heads.
Father of the deceased woman Muhammad Bux Jeho told journalists that he respected and gave weight to the arrival of notables’ procession and Holy Quran and pardoned the killing of his daughter for which no Jirga was held.
The Jirga system should be banned in Pakistan.
