  "account": "A 13-year-old girl was killed by her cousin in Mianwali after she left home without wearing a hijab, according to a first information report filed by her father. The incident reportedly occurred when the suspect, identified as Jawad, stopped them en route to buy groceries. The father, accompanying his daughter, claims Jawad threatened her for not adhering to the hijab requirement before opening fire with a pistol, resulting in her death at the scene. The father alleges that Jawad, his brother's son, had previously warned his daughter against venturing outside without a hijab. Police stated that the incident transpired the day before it was reported, with the suspect subsequently fleeing. Ongoing efforts are being made to locate and arrest the suspect. A case has been initiated under provisions pertaining to murder in the name of honor, based on the father's statement recorded in the FIR. At present, no arrest has been announced by the police. The information regarding the confrontation and the alleged motive is derived from the father's statement documented in the FIR. The account of the police was initially reported by ProPakistani.",
