A Pakistani anchorperson was shot dead at her home in Rawalpindi , with police taking her husband into custody and seizing the suspected weapon.
An investigation has been launched, he added. Sukhera, along with the senior superintendent of police (SSP) operations and the SSP investigations, visited the crime scene with a team of forensic experts.
City Police Officer (CPO) Hassan Mushtaq Sukhera said Ahsan’s husband had been taken into custody and the suspected weapon seized. A male domestic worker at the house told police that the victim’s husband had claimed that the gunshot was fired accidentally, according to the CPO.
She recalled the murder of Hina Javed, a 45-year-old digital media executive who was found dead at her Rawalpindi residence in August with signs of torture, and noted that the outcome of the investigation into the case was still awaited.
A case was being registered and an investigation would be conducted on merit, he said. She called for a thorough, impartial and transparent investigation to establish the facts and ensure that those responsible were held accountable, a statement issued by the Presidency said.
