The WPC expressed deep concern over the circumstances surrounding Ms. Javed’s death and called for a transparent, impartial and thorough investigation to establish the facts and ensure that every individual found responsible or complicit is brought to justice in accordance with the law.

 

Police have registered a case against her husband and a domestic worker employed at the residence. The WPC emphasised that the investigation must comprehensively examine the role of all individuals present at the time of the incident, as well as any other persons who may be connected to the case.

There must be no compromise on a fair and complete investigation, and anyone found responsible must be held accountable under the law.”
