Authorities have arrested at least 20 suspects, including a tribal leader, in connection with the murders of a man and a woman in Balochistan. A Quetta court has rejected the bail application of tribal leader Sardar Sherbaz Satakzai while granting bail to Gul Bibi, the mother of the slain victim, Bano Bibi.
The bail hearings for both Satakzai and Gul Bibi took place on Monday. After reviewing the evidence and arguments, the court denied Satakzai’s request but approved Gul Bibi’s, ordering her immediate release.

The Serious Crime Investigation Wing had earlier submitted the case challan related to the Digari honor killing incident. Both Satakzai and Gul Bibi had initially sought bail from the same court.
The case pertains to the tragic murder of Bano Bibi and a man in Digari, reportedly committed by Bano’s brothers in an alleged act of honor killing.
