  • Quetta teenager kills younger boy after getting inspired by crime series

    Quetta teenager kills younger boy after getting inspired by crime series

    Quetta police have arrested a teenager as a suspect in the murder of a young boy whose partially burned corpse was found on September 20.

    The incident took place in Hazara Town, the provincial capital of Balochistan.

    SSP Serious Crimes Unit Zohaib Mohsin told a press conference on Sunday that the police arrested Mushtaq Hussain, also known as Mehdi, for killing Arman Ali.

    He told media that the suspect confessed during the investigation to have planned the crime after watching scenes from a crime series on social media.

    Mushtaq explained how he executed the plan to the police team. He took a knife and a hammer, hid them in a school bag, and went to the crime scene, where he found a boy flying a kite. Luring the boy with a juice packet, he then attacked him.

    He maintained that he did not know the boy and claimed he acted based on what he had seen in the series.

    Victim’s father Muhammad Naeem registered a case with the police after which the police started an investigation.

    Dawn reports that the investigation involved geo-fencing of the crime scene and examining footage from nearby CCTV cameras with the assistance of Frontier Corps Balochistan.

    Suspicious individuals were brought in for questioning. However, Mushtaq was included in the investigation on Sept 29, SSP told the media.

  • Another seven Punjabi labourers killed in Balochistan, 20 abducted

    Another seven Punjabi labourers killed in Balochistan, 20 abducted

    In another unfortunate incident, at least seven labourers hailing from Punjab were targeted and shot dead by militants in Balochistan’s Panjgur district on Saturday.

    According to the police, the labourers were residing in a house in the Khuda-i-Abadan area of Panjgur district where the fatal attack occurred, leaving seven dead.

    In a separate incident on Saturday, more than 20 labourers were abducted by armed men in the Musakhail district of Balochistan hours after seven innocent civilians were targeted in a different district.

    Balochistan’s security situation has deteriorated significantly as separatist elements continue to spread violence and often target civilians from Punjab.

    Last month, 23 passengers were identified and killed by the terrorist organisation Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).

    President Asif Ali Zardari strongly condemned the incidents, saying, “Targeting innocent labourers and citizens is a very brutal and reprehensible act.”

    Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Punjab’s Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz also offered condolences to the bereaved families.

  • Quaid-e-Azam University clashes leave 25 injured

    Quaid-e-Azam University clashes leave 25 injured

    A clash between student groups of members of the Punjabi student council and the Pakhtun Students Council of Quaid-e-Azam University (QAU) Islamabad on Sunday left 25 students injured.

    The clash erupted after Punjabi students allegedly tortured Muzammil Marwat in the square above Karachi Heights. Following the incident, student groups began to gather in large numbers to engage in a physical fight, as reported by Tribune.

    Up to 80 Punjabi students led by Punjabi Students Council member Rana Hassan and 300 students of Chairman Pakhtun Students Council led by Asad Turi wrestled with each other for 40 minutes with iron rods and sticks near Hostel 7, resulting in severe injuries.

    After police intervention, the situation was brought under control.

    The Secretariat police registered a case under sections 324, 506, 148 and 149 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) against 380 students, including the leader of both groups.

    However, no one has been arrested yet.

    Student clashes in universities have become a major concern. A few weeks ago, a similar clash occurred between two student groups over the banner display at Punjab University.

    ‘Khal Naik Nahin,Na Laiq’; X has hilarious reacts to Ali Amin Gandapur

    Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur is getting hilarious reactions on X (Previously Twitter) to his U-Turn from Peshawar Interchange.

    Gandapur had announced to reach Liaquat Bagh to participate in the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) protest on Saturday, but he directed party workers to return from Burhan Interchange itself, saying KP has proved that it is the first force. “This government does not give us constitutional rights, first shelling and then firing.”

    A video titled ‘Khal Naiq’ from the protest is going viral in which the Chief Minister can be seen sitting with his feet up on the roof of a vehicle. Some users called him their leader. At the same time, many criticized him hilariously, saying he is not ‘Khal Naik’ but ‘Na Laik’.

    One user wrote, “Khal naiq ka anjaam bhi yad hoga phir to”.

    Here are some reactions.

  • Govt to regulate falcon trade

    Govt to regulate falcon trade

    The federal government has directed relevant authorities to streamline the import and export of falcons, ensuring that birds that are brought into Pakistan are taken back by their owners and not exchanged.

    In a meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) Management Authority on September 4, a Ministry of Climate Change representative stressed the need to tag falcons with microchips and identification passports, Dawn News reported.

    Officials were hopeful that these actions will prevent the exchange or illegal trade of the birds and added, “This is a transit permission, not related to the commercial trade of species.”

    The development came after previous incidents where Gulf princes took young falcons along with them and abandoned injured and aged birds, which were later illegally trapped in Pakistan and sold on the country’s black market; this raised concerns about wildlife exploitation, prompting strict rules to protect the birds.

  • Pope slams Israel for ‘immoral’ use of force in Gaza and Lebanon

    Pope slams Israel for ‘immoral’ use of force in Gaza and Lebanon

    Pope Francis on Sunday slammed the “immoral” use of force in Lebanon and Gaza amid ongoing Israeli strikes in both places.

    “A country that acts this way with force, no matter the country, and that acts in such an excessive manner, (lends itself to) immoral actions,” said Francis when asked about the consequences of Israeli airstrikes on civilians aboard a flight back to Rome from Belgium.

    “Defence must always be proportional to the attack. When this is not the case, a dominating tendency appears that goes beyond morality,” the 87-year-old pontiff said in Italian.

    “Even in war there is a morality to defend. War is immoral, but the rules of war indicate a form of morality,” Francis said.

    “But when you don’t do this … you see the bad blood of these things,” he said.

    The death of Hassan Nasrallah has sent shockwaves throughout Lebanon and the Middle East, where he has been a key political and military figure for more than three decades.

  • International players in trouble with IPL’s new rule

    International players in trouble with IPL’s new rule

    The Indian Premier League (IPL) has introduced a new law against foreign cricketers who did not play in the league after drafting.

    The IPL Governing Council has introduced new regulations under which foreign cricketers will come under the radar. Draft cricketers will not be able to leave the League without providing a valid reason.

    This move aims to protect the interests of the League’s franchises so that they are protected from losses. During several meetings, franchise owners expressed concerns that foreign players would leave the League in batches, causing losses to the franchise.

    According to the newly released IPL rules, any foreign player who registers for the auction and, after being selected in the auction, does not make himself available before the start of the season will face a two-year ban under this law.
