A court in Toba Tek Singh has sentenced two men to death for the murder of Maria Bibi, who was killed by her father and brother in March 2024. The case, initially misrepresented, was later confirmed as an honour killing after a police investigation. The verdict, delivered by Additional Sessions Judge Abdul Hafeez Bhutta, also ordered financial compensation to the victim's legal heirs. The Punjab Prosecutor General's office emphasised its role in ensuring swift justice in the case.
