JEHLUM: The police arrested father and a cousin of Samia Shahid, British woman of Pakistani origin, for the further investigation.

According to the media reports, Chaudhry Shahid the father of Samia and her cousin Chaudhry Mubeen are being interrogated in police custody while a**ther accused Chaudhry Shakeel has **t been arrested yet.

Postmortem report suggests her death occurred by eating the poiso**us food. Initially her death was considered as suicide until police came to k**w about Samia’s second husband.

Minister for Interior and NarcoticsControl Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan on Wednesday took **tice of deathof British Pakistani woman in Jhelum and ordered immediate and cleaninvestigation into the matter.

In a statement issued here he directed Regional Police******r (RPO) and District Police ******r (DPO) to investigate i**rder to establish facts of her death.

Police are investigating after a British man claimed his wife had been murdered in a so-called "ho**ur" killing, ten days after the death of a social media star cast a spotlight on the practice.

Mukhtar Kazam registered a complaint with police in Punjab province claiming his wife, 28-year-old Samia Shahid, was murdered in her family´s village while visiting them.

The couple, both British-Pakistani dual citizens, had been married for two years and were living in Dubai, police told, adding that it was Shahid´s second marriage.

"Her parents did **t approve," local police official Aqeel Abbas said, citing Kazam´s complaint.

He said Shahid was visiting her family´s village Pindori in Punjab´s Jehlum district.

"She was killed on July 20. She has been killed for ho**ur," Abbas said, quoting the complaint.

******rs are **w waiting for a post-mortem report, he said, without specifying how Shahid´s husband alleged she was murdered.

In his own statement to police, Shahid´s father denied any charges that his daughter was killed for "ho**ur", adding that he did **t want an investigation as she had died of natural causes.

"Ho**ur" killings -- a custom in which a relative is killed by a**ther for bringing the family disho**ur -- are a near daily occurrence in Pakistan.

The victims are overwhelmingly women, with hundreds killed each year.

Earlier this month the murder of social media star Qandeel Baloch by her brother, who said it was for "ho**ur", provoked international shock and revulsion.

The killing polarised Pakistan and appears to have spurred politicians to take action. Last week the law minister an**unced that bills aimed at tackling loopholes that facilitate "ho**ur" killings would soon be voted on by parliament.

Rights groups and politicians have for years called for tougher laws to tackle perpetrators of violence against women in Pakistan.
