Samina Samoon, also known as Samina Sindhu, was in Kanga village for an event where she was singing for her audience.
As the event progressed, a man identified as Tarique Ahmed Jatoi asked her to stand while singing.
The singer refused to comply to his demand apparently because she was pregnant. The denial did not go well with Jatoi, who was reportedly inebriated and shot her dead.
The 24-year-old singer was taken to hospital where she was declared brought dead. Her husband has demanded that the First Information Report (FIR) should charge the accused of double murder for killing his wife and unborn child.
