A teenage Pakistani girl has been shot dead by
her uncle following a row over loud music, police said Tuesday.
The incident happened Saturday in the Kallar
Kahar valley in Punjab province’s Chakwal district, around 120 kilometres (75
miles) from the capital Islamabad.
“The girl Rehana Bibi was alone at her home
and was listening to music when her uncle Muhammad Gulistan… came to her house
and asked to lower the volume,” Sadat Ali, an official on duty at Kallar Kahar
police station, told AFP.
“On her refusal, they quarrelled and Gulistan
shot her dead,” said Ali, adding that Bibi was aged about 17.
Another police official, Ali Akbar, said they
were attempting to arrest the killer.
Police said they were not aware of any family
feud leading up to the attack.
