In the jirga it was ‘proved’ that the accused, Asad Shar, the brother of Arbab Shar, had ‘illicit relations’ with the daughter of Gulzar Shar’s brother and Gulzar murdered his niece on pretext of karo-kari a month ago.

According to the decision of jirga, Asad Shar was asked to give two females of his family in marriage in compensation.

Responding to the Jirga’s decision, Asad Shar married off Waziran and Noorjehan, daughters of his brother Arbab Shar, to two men belonging to Gulzar Shar family.

Saidal Shar, reports said, had ‘relations’ with the wife of Baloo Shar.

And when Baloo Shar became aware of it, he killed his wife on pretext of karo-kari.

According to the jirga’s decision the accused, Saidal Shar, will also pay Rs70,000 to Baloo Shar in fine for a child as the deceased woman was pregnant, and Rs30,000 for police expenses.
