What happened in the case?
On November 8, a woman news anchor was found dead with a bullet wound at her home in Gulshanabad on Adiala Road in Rawalpindi.
Police registered a murder case against her husband under Section 302 on the complaint of her brother, Khurram. However, her brother later submitted an application to withdraw the case.
According to the complaint, Khurram received a phone call from his other sister. She told him that Rabia had been shot by her husband.
When he reached the house, he found his sister lying in a pool of blood and she had died.
Initial police investigations revealed that Rabia had been married to Ahsan for 14 years.
Her family told police that the couple had no known marital problems. Her daughters, sister and mother also described their relationship as good.
A domestic worker told police that Ahsan found a 30-bore pistol among the clothes in a cupboard.
He reportedly picked it up and was holding it when the gun went off accidentally. The bullet hit Rabia.
What did the post-mortem report reveal?
The initial post-mortem report stated that the bullet entered the lower front part of Rabia’s neck. The injury proved fatal.
Police officials also confirmed that the pistol recovered from the scene was unlicensed.
Police said further action would be taken after receiving the forensic reports. Investigators are also examining all possible motives behind the incident.
