Karachi: A 24-year-old pregnant singer was shot dead at Kanga village in Pakistan's southern Sindh province after she failed to stand up while singing, police said.
Tariq Jatoi kept badgering Samina Samoon to stand up while singing but when she could not get up due to her pregnancy he shot her dead, police said.
She was rushed to a nearby hospital but she succumbed to her injuries, police added.
