No evidence Kohistani girls were murdered: Mian Iftikhar
PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain said Sunday that the provincial government had found no evidence that the girls at the centre of the Kohistan video scandal were murdered.

Hussain also requested the Supreme Court to wrap up the case and take action against those individuals who had made these allegations.

During a news conference the provincial information minister informed reporters that the parents and sister of one of the girls had recorded their statements in front of the fact finding commission.

He further said that the commission had also recorded the statements of eight other locals and no evidence was found in the entire village that the girls had been murdered.

Hussain added that the video scandal was an attempt to disgrace the Jirga system and Pakhtun traditions.
