A 40-year-old female school teacher was tragically shot and killed in front of her father in the Jangdara Totalai area of Buner, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The incident occurred after she refused a marriage proposal. The suspect fled the scene, and local police have registered a first information report (FIR) and launched an investigation.
