A shocking video has gone viral on social media showing a couple being murdered in broad daylight in Balochistan, allegedly over an "illicit" relationship.
The footage shows a group of men taking the couple out from vehicles into a desert area, where they are gunned down at close range.
In the video, the woman, her head covered with a shawl, can be seen walking ahead of a man while a crowd looks on.
Speaking in Brahvi, a local language, she says, "You are only allowed to fire at me, nothing else," before she is shot multiple times. She collapses after the third shot, with several more gunshots heard afterward.
The incident, believed to have taken place three days before Eid-ul-Azha, has drawn widespread outrage across Pakistan. Civil society groups, religious leaders, and political figures have condemned the killings, demanding swift justice.
Balochistan chief minister Sarfaraz Bugti confirmed on Monday that 11 people have been arrested in connection with the crime. An FIR was registered by Station House Officer Naveed Akhtar at Quetta’s Hanna-Urak police station after the video surfaced online.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari strongly condemned the act, calling the accused “beasts” who deserve no leniency.
