DERA GHAZI KHAN: A man died on Monday after five attackers chopped off his arms, lips and nose, taking away his severed limbs with them.
The brutal crime was committed against Allah Ditta, a resident of Mauza Sabra Nachawn in the limits of Gaddai police station.
According to local sources, Allah Ditta was married and had an affair with a married woman of Paiga village, who had earlier eloped with the victim but after intervention of elders of the both families was brought back to her husband’s house.
On Monday, Allah Ditta was again going to the village to meet the woman when five people intercepted him. After overpowering the victim, the attackers chopped off his arms, lips and nose. While fleeing the scene, the assailants took the severed limbs along, leaving the victim in a pool of blood.
The injured man was rushed to Trauma Centre of Ghazi Medical College and teaching hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Station House Officer Ali Mohammad told Dawn a case had been registered against two relatives of the woman – Iqbal and Allah Divaya – and their three unidentified accomplices.

@Khurram Jadoon I didn't understand your comment. Do you mean that Women wight activists only come forward if a crime is against Women? Its their duty to come forward who is stopping men to have their group to protect their right? This crime is also done by men like in other 90% cases.

@Ahmad Yes, women rights activists only come out for women. Do you know how many more men have been killed because of intolerance, terrorism and targeted killings? Any feelings for them?

I sometimes feel scared of my self. Reading and hearing so much about these so called honor killing is making me indifferent towards this. This is not the person I used to be 10 years back. I can only hope and pray that better sense prevails in the world.

What is evident from comments is;
Whenever there is a crime against a woman, most men condemn it. But when there are crimes against men (which are in greater numbers) no woman has guts to condemn it.

@ABC @khurram @basit
The vulnerable always suffer at the hands of the vile regardless if gender.Dont make it an issue between genders. It was henious crime done against a human.
I am appalled at these comments. How can anyone divide humanity on basis of whats between their legs? How can anyone believe that one human's life matters more solely due to their genitals?

This stupid barbaric tradition has to stop. It seems we are living in the dark ages. There is no place of honor killing in Islam. The nation should stop being the judge, jury and executioner at the same time. Let law of the state take its course.

The writ of the government has disappeared and that is why the people have taken the law into their own hands.

Only Qazi (judge) can impose punishment to culprit in Islam.Unfortunately every person in our country is Qazi and can kill weak people like girls,boys and poor people.Islam allows marriage with free will.

The greatest culprit is the honour of people which has hosted the real honor. Only good education can arrest this culprit, not the police or law. As these, both powers can deal with only one who is in sight.

People its not about men and women condemning it or not.A human, a living thing, God's creature has been mutilated. Affair or no Affair, no common person is above the law... and there; this is a Pakistani (woman; since some were desperate) is condemning it!!! These killer have bought dishonour to their family, not the victims

Pakistanis have to decide which of the two is the worst offence-sexual impropriety or brutally murdering another human being.Murder can never be justified under any cicumtances when carried out by a mob.
Punishment can only be meted out by the judiciary after a fair trial and found to be guilty.

@Khurram Jadoon they divide the human being into two groups for their purpose when they need. And declare human as single creature when they need.

Honor killing-the rampant most heinous crime-is not gender oriented rather it stems from and breeds in misconceived notions of righteousness rooted in not just lack of but absence of education and abject poverty. Whenever a crime of such nature occurs and that tragically occurs more often, different various interest groups jump on the opportunity and manipulate it to their respective group's advantage.
