DI KHAN. A trial court in Dera Ismail Khan on Monday convicted all three individuals accused of killing a female seminary teacher in March 2022, sentencing two to death and the third to life imprisonment.<\/p>\n

Additional Sessions Court II Judge Muhammad Jameel delivered the verdict, also imposing a fine of Rs2 million each on the women facing the death penalty, and a fine of Rs1 million on the minor girl involved in the crime.<\/p>\n

Tansir Ali and Advocate Haji Shakil represented the prosecution while Advocate Asad Aziz pursued the case on behalf of the accused.<\/p>\n

According to the prosecution, the accused assaulted the 18-year-old teacher as she entered the seminary premises to teach. The victim succumbed to her injuries at the establishment’s gate, with her throat slit open.<\/p>\n

The convicts, two real sisters and their cousin, were affiliated with another religious seminary and attempted to give a religious motive to the murder.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on March 29, 2022, at Jamia Islamia Falah Al-Banat in the Anjumabad area on Dera Multan Road around 7 am.<\/p>\n

Initial investigations revealed that differences had arisen between the deceased and the accused over religious matters. A report quoting Imtiaz Janjua, a spokesperson for the district police, stated that the assailants believed the slain teacher, Safoora Bibi, had committed blasphemy.<\/p>\n

According to the FIR, the three girls – Umra Aman, 24, daughter of Deen Badshah; Razia Hanifia, 21, and Aisha Noman, 17, daughters of Allah Noor – allegedly attacked the teacher with a stick at the seminary gate and later stabbed her in the neck.<\/p>\n

The accused students had reportedly informed the police that a religious figure had appeared in the dream of a 13-year-old relative, indicating that the teacher had committed blasphemy. A knife and a stick were recovered from the arrested girls, as stated in the FIR.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
