Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti has claimed that 11 suspects have so far been arrested in connection with the brutal murder of a man and a woman whose killing was caught on video and widely circulated on social media.

CM Bugti took notice of the horrific incident after the video of the double murder went viral, showing a man and a woman being shot dead in what appears to be an honour killing. 

According to the chief minister, the victims shown in the video have been identified, and operations to apprehend the culprits are ongoing.

In a social media statement, Sarfraz Bugti announced that 11 suspects had been apprehended in the case so far. “All those involved in this heinous act will be brought to justice,” he said, adding that the state stands with the oppressed.

Earlier, the chief minister had revealed that preliminary investigations suggest the incident occurred a few days before Eid, although the video only recently surfaced online.
