Pakistani police are investigating the so-called “honour killing” of a young woman who appeared in a viral photo that police suspect was doctored.
Authorities in remote Kohistan said the 18-year-old was shot dead by her father and uncle last week on orders from elders of a tribal jirga (council).
Her father was arrested on a murder complaint and her uncle is on the run, police say. She has not been named.
The man in the photo, whom the jirga wanted dead, is in protective custody.
Two others – a young woman and a young man – also received death threats after their doctored pictures went viral on Pakistani social media, police said.
