Police arrested on Thursday the three hitmen who had allegedly murdered actor Kismat Baig at the instigation of her promoter Rana Muzamil on Nov 23.

Kismat Baig was shot at and injured by three gunmen outside her house in the Canal Bank Scheme. She died later in the day at the Services Hospital.

A senior police official said promoter Rana Muzamil had confessed to getting her killed by Rizwan, Abdul Rehman and Azam. They were arrested from Gujranwala on Thursday.

He said Muzamil had turned against her when Kismat refused to perform in his drama and also refused to return the money.

Another investigator said Muzamil had gone to Dubai to hire the killers.

Up to 40 theatre actors were interrogated in connection with the case.

lawlessness at its peak? when a person can kill somebody just for declining to work for him, it means there is no fear of the law.

Good investigation by the police. Pakistani police usually suffers a lot of attacks because of its alleged corruption and incompetence; perhaps for good reasons. However, in this instance , I want to extend my congratulations the police for the job well done.

How and when will we come out of this barbaric mentality of controlling women through violence? We point out to West for their moral degradation, but forget to look upon ourselves where ethical, human and moral values are completely lacking.
