What happened: In yet another what @justicefoor_noor stated, “completely false to claim that this was an honour killing by Noor’s brother and father is VILE and I am sickened..” As it is pertinent to mention that on February 16, Zahir’s lawyer, Sikander Zulqarnain said, “This is a matter of living relationship(between Noor Mukadam and Zahir Jaffer), frayed emotions could overwhelm anyone and it could be a matter of honour .” Whereas, Express Tribune quotes Sikander’s statement as, “The lawyer of accused said in an indirect reference to the victim’s brother..”
Details: At the same time, on February 16’s court proceedings, Sikander Zulqarnain questioned, “Why the police did not interrogate the only brother of the victim?” Express Tribune further quotes Sikander Zulqarnain, “The statement said that the body of the victim was lying and four or five people were holding Zahir before he was arrested. Why these people were not taken into custody for interrogation?” He also accused that this is being done to satisfy someone’s ego.
Justice For Noor: An Instagram page run by Noor Mukadam’s friends wrote, “The defence counsel has the complete right to defend their client BUT the kind of lies they have spewed today is not only disgusting , but they are also completely false.” Adding to her post, she wrote, “Zahir, the murderer and his team, have changed their story multiple times. From claiming insanity to self defense to invisible forces being at fault. This is a new low.”
