Anchor Rabia Ahsan case: Court makes key decision on Ahsan Tahir’s custody

Rawalpindi: A court in Rawalpindi has granted police an additional four days of physical remand of suspect Ahsan Tahir in the alleged murder case of television anchor Rabia Ahsan Tahir.

The suspect was produced before Senior Civil Judge (Criminal Division) Muhammad Nasrullah Wattoo after completing his initial four-day physical remand.

During the hearing, police requested a further seven days of physical remand to continue the investigation and carry out necessary inquiries.

However, the court approved only four additional days of police custody.

Following the decision, Sadar Beruni Police took the suspect into custody and left the court premises.

The latest court order marks another development in the investigation into the death of Rabia Ahsan, an anchor associated with Rawalpindi.

In an earlier statement reported in connection with the case, Ahsan Tahir had claimed that he pointed a pistol towards Rabia and pulled the trigger as a joke, believing the weapon was not loaded.

The police investigation is continuing to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The suspect’s additional physical remand will allow investigators further time to question him and pursue the case. The allegations remain subject to the ongoing investigation and judicial proceedings.
