Daughter of ex-Pakistani ambassador to South Korea shot dead

Noor Mukadam, 27, the daughter of former Pakistani ambassador to South Korea Shaukat Ali Mukadam, was found shot dead in Islamabad, police said on Tuesday.

Mukadam had not been in contact with her father since Monday morning.

According to unverified early reports, she had left home and was with the son of a well-known businessman.

The police in Islamabad said the man, Zahir Jaffer, was a US citizen and had booked a flight to the United States on Wednesday.

They said this may be evidence of premeditated murder and an attempted flight from justice.

Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri, the spokesman for Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, expressed his condolences to Mr Mukadam on Twitter, with the hashtag #JusticeForNoor.

Nepotism is the name of the game

Salman Khan’s father, Salim Khan, is one of Bollywood’s most legendary screenwriters. Through his partnership with co-writer Javed Akhtar, Salim is credited with having paved the path for the Indian film industry’s blockbuster format in the 1970s. Something his son now rules the roost of. More importantly, the Salim-Javed duo also created the persona of the “angry young man” for Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan in the 1970s, reflecting the angst of the average Indian. In choosing to be the ordinary man’s “hero” as opposed to a thespian in new Bollywood, Salman Khan remains tightly linked to his father’s oeuvre. Thanks dad.
