Five Kohistan girls murdered, Afzal local boy claims again

Afzal Khan, the brother of an accused boy in Kohistan girls’ dancing episode, on Wednesday once again claimed all the five girls have been killed by the local jirga.
Talking to media outside the Supreme Court, Afzal Khan said that the jirga had sent 40 to 50 persons to kill him and his brothers.
He said that five men of his family would be killed against the killing of five girls, adding that Maulana Javed from Mansehra district had given a decree (Fatwa) against the five girls and two boys. “All the five girls Bazgar, Amna, Shaheen, Begum and one more has been killed by the jirga on May 30. “I have four witnesses of the killing,” Afzal Khan told reporters.
“We have life threat from commissioner Hazara and DIG Hazara,” he added. “No action is being taken against the murderers of girls.”
He appealed Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry to take action in this regard for saving his life.
