  • ‘In a country where rapists and murderers roam free, dogs are given the death sentence’: Mashal Khan

    ‘In a country where rapists and murderers roam free, dogs are given the death sentence’: Mashal Khan

    Mashal Khan has reacted to the news of two dogs being sentenced to death in Karachi. The Thora Sa Haq actress took to her Instagram stories to post her stance on the matter by writing, “In a country where rapists, murderess and pedophiles roam free, two dogs are given the death sentence for their owner’s negligence”.

    The two German Shepherds that attacked a lawyer in Karachi last month will be “euthanized”, according to a compromise agreement between the dogs’ owner and the victim.

    Activists have termed the agreement between Humayun Khan and Advocate Mirza Akhtar Ali as preposterous.

    Khan’s dogs attacked the advocate when he was out on a morning walk. The CCTV footage of the incident showed the two dogs attacking the lawyer as he helplessly attempted to defend himself.

    Kareena, Saif announce their second son’s name

    Months after celebrity couple Kareena and Saif welcomed their younger son, his name is finally revealed by the Ki and Ka diva’s father. The Agent Vinod pair have named their child, Jeh.

    Heroine’s actress and Hum Tum actor are yet to reveal Jeh’s face in its entirety due to privacy reasons.

    Speaking to an Indian media outlet, the veteran actor Randhir Kapoor said, “Yes, Kareena and Saif’s younger son has been named Jeh”. He added that the name was finalised “about a week ago”.

    Upon Taimur’s birth, Kareena and Saif were trolled online for the choice of their baby’s name. Many believed he was named after the Turkish invader of the same name. Kareena and Saif have insisted that Taimur means ‘iron’ in Persian, which is what they were going for.

    According to reports, Jeh in Latin means ‘blue crested bird.’ Kareena had also revealed earlier that Saif wanted to name their first son ‘Faiz’ since it had poetic connotations.

    Operating trains not the functions of Pakistan Railways: Azam Swati

    Railways Minister Azam Khan Swati has said that operating passenger and freight trains are not the functions of the Pakistan Railways since it has no capacity to provide better services, adding that it is actually the function of the private sector, reports Dawn.

    Speaking at the Rawalpindi Railway Station during the inauguration of the Sir Syed Express train, the minister said that Sir Syed Express was being “outsourced” as a “better rate” had been achieved through tendering.

    After outsourcing Sir Syed Express, more passenger trains, as well as freight trains, would be outsourced, he added.

    Swati said that with the outsourcing of the train, one chapter of the mission he had undertaken on the instructions of Prime Minister Imran Khan would be completed.

    Pakistan would build railways for Uzbekistan, he said, adding that Prime Minister Khan would visit the Central Asian country soon.

    Swati expressed his regret at two train accidents that had occurred during his tenure and pledged that the officials responsible for these accidents would be punished.

    Owner agrees to euthanise dogs who attacked lawyer in Karachi

    The two German Shepherds that attacked a lawyer in Karachi last month will be “euthanized”, according to a compromise agreement between the dogs’ owner and the victim.

    Rights activists call the agreement between Humayun Khan and Mirza Akhtar Ali Advocate preposterous.

    As per reports, Khan’s dogs attacked the lawyer when he was out on a morning walk. The CCTV footage of the incident showed the two dogs attacking the Mirza Akhtar as he helplessly attempted to defend himself.

    Mirza Akhtar “agreed for the sake of Allah [to] forgive Humayun Khan”, reads the agreement between the two parties.

    “The two dogs involved in the incident will be euthanised/put down by a veterinarian immediately. Any other such dogs that Humayun Khan has, he shall give them away,” states one of the conditions of the agreement.

    The agreement between the two parties further states that Humayun will tender an “unconditional apology” to Mirza Akhtar for the “hurt and injury caused to him”.

    Another condition states that the dog owner will register any other dogs with the Clifton Cantonment Board (CBC) and not allow them to come on the street unless they are with a “properly trained handler.”

    The agreement concludes on a clause that Humayun will donate Rs1 million to a local animal shelter, ACF Animal Rescue.

    The case was registered at the Darakhshan police station and Humayun was granted a bail before arrest while his employess were in police custody.
