‘Lover’ shoots his love and commits suicide
In a separate instance in Sargodha, a man shot dead his girlfriend after being denied a marriage proposal. Moments later, he shot himself and died on the spot, in front of the girl he had planned to marry.
The victim girl, like every other girl in the country, had the choice to accept or reject the marriage proposal, but those with ulterior motivations and zealots with mental illnesses have been taking this right away from her by murdering her.
