SANGHAR, Dec 20: A married woman was killed on Thursday within the remit of the Sarhari police station, some 60 kilometres away from here.

According to sources, armed men barged into a house in the Piral Brohi village and shot dead the 25-year-old woman, Nasreen Brohi.

Her body was taken to the Shahdadpur taluka hospital by the police, who  later handed it over to the heirs  after an autopsy.

Nasreen had married Abdullah Brohi a few years ago.

Eight months ago, she left the relation with Abdullah and married Ahsan Shah out of love.

Their freewill marriage turned into a dispute between their communities.

The row was settled in a local jirga and according to its decision, Nasreen was returned to her brother and her husband Ahsan Shah had to pay a Rs800,000 fine.

She was living in her brother’s house when killed.

No FIR was registered till filing of this report.
