They termed it a case of killing in the name of so-called honour.
Aziz Bhatti SHO Adeel Afzal said that a murder case was registered on behalf of the state against the family of 15-year-old Samina Khan and an uncle of the victim was taken into custody since he owned the licensed pistol with which she was shot.
On Friday, the girl was found shot dead at her home in Block 6 and her family had claimed that she committed suicide by shooting herself.
The area SHO said that the family had taken her initially to the Liaquat National Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Later, the body was shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre to fulfil legal formalities.
