Peshawar: Pakistani police have arrested a man for murdering his own transgender son, in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
###
Officer Azmat Khan said Sunday that the father, Aurangzeb Akbar, had given the police written assurance that he wouldn’t harm his son, when returning him home.
###
Police say the transgender Aftab Aurangzeb, 19, also known as Maya, had been staying with friends in Peshawar, the provincial capital.
###
Khan said Maya’s friends were worried that the family would harm the son, so they involved the police when Maya was brought home, asking for written assurance.
###
Maya’s bullet riddled body was found Saturday night at a river bank in his home town of Nowshera.
###
In Pakistan’s conservative society, transgender persons can be subjected to abuse and sometimes so-called “honor killings” by their families.
