      <title>Mother of honour killing victim arrested after defending murder</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330426112/mother-of-honour-killing-victim-arrested-after-defending-murder</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a major breakthrough in the Balochistan honour killing case, the police have arrested Gul Jan, the mother of the victim, Bano Bibi, for releasing a video statement in which she defended the killing.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the video statement, Gul Jan had described the murder as a “punishment” in accordance with Balochi tribal customs and traditions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the police, Gul Jan was produced before an anti-terrorism court (ATC) where the court granted a two-day physical remand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In her video statement, Gul Jan supported the murder and declared the arrested individuals innocent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Police said that the statement was tantamount to justifying the double murder and an attempt to influence the judicial process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In her video statement, Gul Jan claimed that her daughter Bano Bibi was killed following a jirga decision due to her alleged relationship with a boy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She said that the boy used to make TikTok videos that angered her sons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gul Jan said that Bano was a mother of five children, and her eldest son is 16 years old.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Our people did not make any unjust decision. The decision was made in accordance with Balochi customs and traditions,” she added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She also said that Sardar Sherbaz Satakzai had no role in the decision and the jirga was held without his involvement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, according to the police, the main accused in the double murder, Jalal, is still absconding, and a search is underway to arrest him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The police have registered a case under the Anti-Terrorism Act and further legal action is underway.&lt;/p&gt;
