A couple who married a month ago out of their own free-will was shot dead on Friday in the Buner district of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province by the father of the groom allegedly over a viral social media video. According to police, the firing incident occurred within Daggar police remits of the district after a man opened fire on his son and daughter-in-law, who married a month ago out of their own free will. “The motive behind the murder is said to be a video that has gone viral on social media,” they said. The investigators said that they had shifted the bodies to a hospital and are probing the matter from all angles. Killings of the couples who have married out of free are reported frequently in the country and recently a young couple was killed in the name of honour, days after they tied the knot out of their own free will in Abbottabad district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). They said the couple had contracted a free-will marriage against the will of their parents a few days back. An FIR of the incident has been registered and an investigation launched to arrest the culprit(s).
