    He pleaded with the cops and the police released his goat but warned him not to allow the animal to roam on the road.

    Circle officer, Anwarganj police station, Saifuddin Beg, however, said that the police had found a youth without a mask, taking the goat along.

    Two girls killed for ‘honour’ over leaked mobile video

    Two teenage girls were killed in the name of ‘honour’ allegedly by a family member in a village located on the border of Pakistan’s North and South Waziristan tribal districts after a short mobile video of them with a young man circulated on social media.

    The North Waziristan police on Sunday arrested two men for their alleged involvement in the murder.

    An FIR was filed at the Razmak police station in North Waziristan, where the murders were reported. According to the FIR, the incident took place on May 14 at the border village of Shaam Plain Garyom.

    “A confirmed report was received that two girls aged 16 and 18 were killed in the name of honour by their paternal cousin, whose name and address is not known, in Shaam Plain Garyom,” the FIR said.

    It said the reason behind the killings was believed to be a video that shows a young man recording himself with three young girls in a secluded area outdoors.

    A senior police officer in Waziristan told a news outlet that two of the three girls seen in the 52-second mobile clip have been killed. He said police were collecting information about the third girl and the man seen in the video.
