Jammu-Kashmir: Rukhsana Kausar, 21, was with her parents and brother when three gunmen, believed to be Pakistani militants, forced their way in and demanded food and beds for the night. After they started beating her father, she dropped one militant with an ax, then shot him dead with his own weapon. She then shot & wounded a second militant. Supt Shafqat Watali said Miss Kausar's reaction was "a rude shock" for the militants. "Normally they get king-like treatment but this was totally unexpected," he said.
Miss Kausar said she had never fired an assault rifle before but had seen it in films and could not stand by while her father was being hurt. "I couldn't bear my father's humiliation. If I'd failed to kill him, they would have killed us," she said. | Another in our series Women Who Are Tired of Putting Up With This Sh*t. |
