On Wednesday, August 30, Zarnaz was brutally murdered by her husband, Baggoo Alkani, in the Chucha area, located in the Rajanpur district of Punjab, Pakistan.
According to witnesses, the murder was committed at a remote location, several kilometers from her home, under the pretext of 'honor.' Baggoo Alkani allegedly caught Zarnaz in the act with another man. Zarnaz was allegedly forced to lie on the ground, after which she was pelted with sharp stones by her husband and his brothers.
Family members of Zarnaz contradict the allegations of infidelity, stating that Zarnaz has always been a loyal wife throughout their two-year marriage and that she has done nothing wrong.
Police have not yet arrested Baggoo Alkani and his brothers. The trio is believed to be residing in the Punjab-Balochistan border region.
This brutal murder sheds another spotlight on the ongoing problem of honor-based violence, known as 'Karo-Kari,' in Pakistan.
