RAWALPINDI: The polygraph test of Ahsan Tahir, husband of murdered female news anchor Rabea Ahsan, has been completed at the Punjab Forensic Science Laboratory, marking a significant development in the ongoing murder investigation, according to police sources.
The examination lasted more than two hours, during which investigators questioned Tahir about various aspects of the incident, including the circumstances surrounding the crime scene and the reported shooting.
According to police sources, investigators specifically asked him about a pistol allegedly kept in a cupboard. Questions also focused on the firing incident, the presence of the weapon and his earlier statements regarding the case.
The examination was intended to help investigators compare his responses with the available circumstantial and forensic evidence.
During the polygraph test, specialists used equipment to monitor the suspect’s physiological responses, including changes in heartbeat and blood pressure. His reactions to different questions were recorded for further examination.
Police sources said forensic experts would now analyse the data and recordings collected during the examination. After completing the analysis, the experts will prepare a report and submit it to the relevant investigation team.
The report is expected within the next few days and could help investigators assess the consistency of Tahir’s statements with other available evidence.
However, the findings will not be considered in isolation. Investigators are expected to evaluate the polygraph results alongside other forensic evidence, investigative findings and applicable legal requirements.
Police launched an investigation into Rabea Ahsan’s murder after the incident came to light. Since then, investigators have been examining different aspects of the case, collecting evidence and reviewing statements with the assistance of modern forensic techniques.
The completion of the polygraph examination is another step in the investigation. Further developments are expected after forensic experts submit their report to the investigation team.
