A young woman was allegedly shot dead by her brother in the name of 'honour' in Pakistan's Karachi city, media reports said on Monday.


South SSP Syed Asad Raza told Dawn News that the suspect was taken into custody and he ‘confessed’ to have killed his 24-year-old sister Safia Ghani Khan.

The SSP said that the police received information at 06:00am that the body of a woman was brought to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre.

A police team reached the hospital and questioned her brother, Hakeem Khan, who lived in DHA’s Khayaban-i-Hilal, reports Dawn News.

The brother told the police that he was cleaning his licensed 9mm pistol when it accidentally went off and a bullet hit his sister who was taken to a hospital where she died.

Police Surgeon Summaiya Syed, however, said that the young woman suffered two bullet wounds in the head and leg.
