Balochistan Chief Minister (CM) has ordered an investigation into a viral video that allegedly shows a woman being killed in the name of ‘honour’. The video, which surfaced on social media, has sparked widespread outrage and demands for justice. The CM’s decision to initiate a probe comes after the video went viral, gaining attention both within the country and internationally.
In the disturbing footage, a woman is seen being brutally attacked, reportedly by her family members. The incident has been labelled as an ‘honour killing’, a term used to describe killings carried out to restore family honour, typically in response to perceived dishonour brought by a woman’s actions. The viral video has caused significant public concern, raising questions about the prevalence of such practices in the region.

The Balochistan CM, who condemned the incident, stated that the provincial government will ensure a thorough investigation. “We will not allow such acts of violence to go unpunished. The perpetrators will be brought to justice,” the CM said in a statement. His order for a probe comes amid growing calls for stricter measures against honour killings, which remain a significant issue in parts of Pakistan, including Balochistan.
Activists and human rights organizations have expressed their shock and outrage over the video. Many have called on the government to take stronger action to prevent such crimes, especially in rural and tribal areas where honour killings are more prevalent. The Balochistan CM’s prompt action in ordering a probe is seen as a positive step toward addressing the issue.
The CM also emphasized the importance of raising awareness and ensuring that such crimes are not justified under any circumstances. Authorities are working to identify those responsible for the killing depicted in the video and are also focusing on providing support to victims of similar crimes.
As the investigation progresses, the Balochistan CM’s order to probe the viral ‘honour’ killing video has brought attention to the ongoing issue of gender-based violence in the region. Authorities hope that this inquiry will not only bring justice but also serve as a deterrent to those who believe in perpetuating such harmful practices.
