JHANG: Two sisters were killed by their three brothers for ‘honour’ here on Sunday at Chak No. 181/JB.
Reports said Zulekhan and Gulzar Bibi refused to marry men of their family’s choice and wanted to contract love marriage.
The family members allegedly detained them at house and arranged their marriage.
The girls in order to avert forced marriage tried to leave the house while their brothers Muhammad Asif, Shahbaz and Arshad fired on them, killing them on the spot.
Azhar Khan, father of the girls, approached the police who registered a case against his sons. No arrests have been made so far.
