QUETTA – Police have arrested 11 individuals, including a tribal leader, in connection with the recent killing of a couple in Balochistan. The case has been transferred to the Serious Crimes Investigation Wing for further examination.

The incident, which occurred days before Eidul Azha, was captured in a viral video showing the victims being led into a desert area and shot.
