A horrifying viral video shows the final moments of a woman and her husband, allegedly killed on orders of a tribal elder for marrying without family consent.
A disturbing video from Pakistan’s Balochistan province has sparked global outrage, showing a young couple being killed in a brutal case of alleged “honour killing” just days before Eid al-Adha. The woman’s chilling final words, “You can only shoot me,” have gripped social media and human rights groups.
Incident Details: Viral Video Reveals Chilling Scene
A shocking video circulating on social media reveals the final moments of a couple, identified as Bano Bibi and Ahsan Ullah, who were allegedly murdered on the outskirts of Quetta, Balochistan, after marrying against family wishes.
The video shows the couple being brought to a desolate hilly area in SUVs and pickup trucks. The woman, draped in a shawl, is handed a copy of the Qur’an. Holding the holy book, she asks the executioner in the local Brahavi dialect:
“Walk seven steps with me, after that you can shoot me.”
“You are allowed only to shoot me. Nothing more than that.”
Soon after, a man fires multiple rounds at her back. The woman collapses. Moments later, her husband is also gunned down as onlookers cheer.
Trigger Behind the Killing
According to reports, the woman’s brother approached a tribal elder, Sardar Satakzai, objecting to the marriage. The elder allegedly ordered the couple’s execution, citing a violation of tribal and cultural codes.
Police Action and Arrests
The incident reportedly occurred three days before Eid al-Adha 2025. After the video went viral:
- 13 suspects, including the tribal elder and woman’s brother, have been arrested.
- The local police, led by Quetta Police Chief Naveed Akhtar, confirmed ongoing investigations.
Human Rights Outrage and Statistics
The killing has reignited concerns over “honour-based violence” in Pakistan.
- As per the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP):
- 405 honor killings were officially reported in 2024.
- Real numbers may be significantly higher, as many cases go unreported due to fear and stigma.
Activists across Pakistan and globally are demanding:
- Swift justice in this case
- Stricter laws against honour killings
- Cultural reform to protect women’s rights
