District West investigation police on Saturday claimed to have arrested two men for their alleged involvement in the killing of their sister in the name of honour.

Habibullah and Sanaullah were arrested by investigation wing of the Manghopir police station.

According to District West Investigation police chief SSP Abid Qaimkhani, the suspects are brothers and were involved in killing their own sister and injuring a person, Nazeer Ahmed, in the name of honour in Karachi.

On May, the woman had been shot dead and Ahmed wounded at their house in the Northern Bypass area.

The Manghopir police said rescuers had transported the casualties to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital (ASH) where the deceased was identified as 25-year-old Saima, wife of Abdur Razzak, while the injured as Nazeer, 27, son of Rehmatullah. The police had then suspected that the incident took over a family dispute.
