A 19-year old married girl was killed in Islamabad allegedly by her brother who suspected that she had developed illicit relations with a man in her neighborhood. The incident took place near Railways Station Colony in the limits of Golra police station. According to the police, Nadia Shaheen, 19, was forced to get married to her first cousin, Muhammad Akram as her brother, Iqbal Mahmood, was married to Akram’s sister. But she couldn’t adjust herself with Akram and after having differences she left his house and started living in her parents’ house. Police sources said that some months ago Shaheen eloped with one Noor Anwar, claiming that she had been married to him before Watta Satta marriage to Akram. According to the police, Shaheen’s brother managed to bring her back at home and started persuading her to live with Akram and not with Noor. But she was not ready to live with Akram. Subsequently, a couple of weeks ago Shaheen once again eloped with Noor and this time too Iqbal managed to bring her sister back to home. However, this time he took strict notice and seriously warned her not to establish any further contact with Noor. On Monday night both the sister and the brother exchanged hot words over the issue. As a result, Iqbal got furious and, all of a sudden, he opened fire at Shaheen who received two fires and died on the spot. The Golra police, following a complaint of Shaheen’s husband, Akram, registered an FIR. In his application Akram told the police that on Monday night Iqbal killed his wife. The police are conducting raids to arrest the killer.
