Search operation on for killer of 2 teenage girls in Pakistan

Pakistan: The police in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province have launched a search operation to find the culprits behind the brutal murder of two teenage girls, who were killed in North Waziristan last week. The teenage girls named Jasima Bibi and Saeeda Bibi were sisters and belonged to the Garyum village in North Waziristan. In a 44-second video that surfaced recently, the two girls were filmed kissing a man. After the video went viral, both the girls were brutally murdered by unknown assailants. Police authorities suspect the twin murders to be a case of honour killing, adding that the viral video may have been shot about a year ago. "The video that may have prompted the killings was shot a year ago, but had only recently been uploaded on social media," said North Waziristan police chief Shafiullah Gandapur. Till now, the police have arrested the man who was filmed kissing the girls in the video clip along with a friend who uploaded the video on social media. However, authorities believe that the murder suspects may have fled to Karachi. The police have also taken one of the girl's father and uncle into custody on suspicion of concealment of murder evidence. (IANS)
