ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar has expressed deep sorrow over the brutal murder of 92 News anchorperson Rabia Ahsan, pledging that the government will play its full role in ensuring a transparent investigation and justice for the victim.
In a statement, the information minister strongly condemned the killing, describing it as an extremely tragic incident and assuring that the law would take its course.
Tarar said a first information report (FIR) had been registered and that the subsequent stages of the investigation would proceed transparently.
He stressed that all relevant aspects of the case must be examined to ensure that the requirements of justice are fulfilled.
“The incident is deeply saddening, and no amount of condemnation is enough,” the minister said, adding that the government would extend its full support to efforts aimed at securing justice.
Addressing reports concerning Ahsan’s personal circumstances, Tarar said he had learned that the journalist had allegedly been a victim of domestic violence.
He emphasised that investigators should examine the circumstances surrounding the alleged abuse, including the violence she may have experienced and the suffering she reportedly endured.
The minister, however, said he did not want to influence the investigation by commenting on details that were still under examination.
He maintained that all possible aspects, including the domestic violence angle, should be thoroughly investigated by the relevant authorities.
Tarar reiterated that the government would play its full role in facilitating a transparent investigation and ensuring that justice was served.
