RAWALPINDI (The Thursday Times) — Rawalpindi ki ek adalat ne hafte ko television anchor Rabia Ahsan ke shohar Ahsan Tahir ko mazeed chaar din ke liye police ki tehveel mein de diya aur peer ko un ka polygraph test karane ka hukm diya, jabke judge ne un se sakht sawalaat kiye ke jis pistol se Rabia ki jaan gayi us se goli kaise chali.
41 saala Rabia, jo 92 News se wabasta anchor theen, 8 November ko Adiala Road par waqe apne ghar mein goli lagne se murda payi gayin. Tahir ko usi din hirasat mein le liya gaya tha aur woh tab se police ki tehveel mein hain.
Senior Civil Judge Nasrullah Wattoo ne yeh tauseeh us waqt di jab tafteeshi afsar ne mazeed saat din maange taake Tahir ko test ke liye Lahore mein Punjab Forensic Science Agency le jaya ja sake. Adalati hukm mein is darkhwast ko “tafteesh ki takmeel ke liye maqool aur jaiz” qarar diya gaya aur police ko hidayat ki gayi ke Tahir ko 18 November ko dobara pesh kiya jaye.
Judge ne kaha, “Polygraph test hone dein, yeh mulzim ke apne faide mein bhi hai,” aur mazeed kaha ke test ke baad “asal soorat-e-haal” saamne aa jayegi. Unhon ne Rabia ki maut ko “ek bohat bara khandani saniha” qarar diya. Tahir ke wakeel ne test par koi aitraaz nahin kiya.
Pistol ke baare mein sawalaat
Judge ne Tahir se poocha ke kya pistol mein magazine laga hua tha, aur agar nahin to goli kaise chali. Yeh poochhe jane par ke unhon ne hathiyar kahan se nikala tha, Tahir ne bataya ke unhon ne use saaf karne ke liye almari se nikala tha.
Judge ne kaha, “Khali pistol bhi ghar mein nahin rakhna chahiye.”
Police zaraye ke mutabiq Tahir ne tafteesh karne walon ko bataya hai ke hathiyar hadsati taur par chal gaya. Police ka kehna hai ke woh har pehlu se jaiza le rahi hai aur us ne abhi tak awami taur par yeh wazeh nahin kiya ke goli kaise chali.
Ab tak ka muqadma
Qatl ka muqadma Rabia ke bhai Khurram Ahmed ki shikayat par Taziraat-e-Pakistan ki dafa 302 aur Punjab ke aslaha qanoon ke tehat darj kiya gaya. Ibtidai ittilaati report (FIR) ke mutabiq Rabia ki walida aur behen taqreeban dopahar dhai baje lawn mein theen jab unhon ne khwabgah se goli chalne ki awaz suni. Un ki behen andar bhaagin to Rabia farsh par pari theen aur Tahir ke haath mein pistol tha.
Report ke mutabiq Tahir ne police ko bataya ke hathiyar unhon ne chalaya tha. Police ka kehna hai ke woh is ka licence pesh nahin kar sake. Rawalpindi ke City Police Officer ne bataya ke laash par gardan ke neeche goli ka zakhm tha.
Firing ke ek din baad Khurram Ahmed ne kaha ke woh apni shikayat wapas lena chahte hain. Unhon ne kaha ke unhon ne sadme ki halat mein muqadma darj karaya tha, un ke khayal mein yeh hadsa tha, aur miyan biwi ke darmiyan koi tanaza nahin tha. Muqadma police ke paas barqarar hai aur adalat Tahir ke remand mein tauseeh karti rahi hai.
Tahir Overseas Pakistanis Foundation mein grade 18 ke afsar hain. Jore ki do betiyan hain.
Rabia ki maut par saathi sahafiyon ne gehre dukh ka izhar kiya. Khatoon-e-Awwal Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari ne “haqaiq janne ke liye mukammal, ghair janibdarana aur shaffaf tahqeeqat” ka mutalba kiya.
