Sidra’s parents forced her to leave the profession, calling it “against family tradition”, but Sidra insisted on continuing. Police said Sidra had come home from Faisalabad last week to celebrate Eid with her family.

On Thursday, her parents and brother Hamza had an argument with her over the issue of decency in profession and beat her for insisting to stick with dancing. Later in the day Hamza opened fire on Sidra, killing her on the spot, officials said. 

A murder case was registered against the suspect.

Police claim to have arrested Hamza who confessed to the crime.

Police officer Fraz Hamid said Hamza got infuriated at Sidra when he saw her dance performance on his mobile phone forwarded to him by a relative. He said Hamza told police that in a fit of rage he shot his sister dead.
