Janikhel (Pashto: جاني‌خېل), also spelled Jani Khel or Zonikhel (ځوني‌خېل) is a town and union council in the Bannu District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

[2] On 21 March 2021, mutilated corpses of four teenage boys were found in the Seentanga area of Janikhel.

The locals protested for a week against the killings along with the dead bodies, which was followed by a planned long march from Janikhel to Peshawar and Islamabad.

The protesters complained that several military operations were carried out against militants in the region, yet kidnappings and targeted killings frequently occurred.

[5][6] On 27 June, the tribesmen postponed the protest again after the authorities released four missing men from Janikhel who had been victims of enforced disappearance.
