Couple Allegedly Murdered for Honor in Larkana District

In a heartbreaking incident in Larkana district, a couple was shot dead, reportedly for honor, raising serious concerns about the safety of individuals who choose love over tradition. The victims, Nazeer Ahmed Kodrani and his wife Farzana Zangejo, were targeted by six men on motorbikes while returning from a court hearing. According to the local police, the couple had been receiving threats from Farzana’s family prior to the attack.

DSP Paras Bakrani, who is investigating the case, mentioned that personal enmity seemed to be the motive behind this heinous act. He stated, “There is likelihood that the couple has been killed for honour.” This remark highlights a grim reality where love can sometimes lead to fatal consequences, particularly in conservative communities where honor killings are unfortunately still prevalent.

After the attack, the bodies were taken to Chandka hospital for a postmortem examination. The families were eventually allowed to perform last rites, but a formal FIR had not been registered by Tuesday night, leaving many questions unanswered. The investigation is currently under the purview of SSP Larkana Mir Rohail Khan Khoso, who is working alongside DSP Bakrani to gather evidence and apprehend all involved.

This tragic event has sparked outrage and has opened up conversations about the need for stronger protections for couples facing threats due to their marital choices. The community is left grappling with the implications of such violence, and many are calling for justice for Nazeer and Farzana. Their story serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by those who dare to defy societal norms in pursuit of love.
