Rawalpindi police have made significant progress in the investigation into the death of television anchor Rabia Ahsan after completing a preliminary examination of suspect Ahsan Tahir’s mobile phone.
A new development has emerged in the investigation into the death of Rabia Ahsan, a female anchor associated with a private television channel in Rawalpindi.
According to police sources, investigators have completed the initial analysis of the mobile phone belonging to suspect Ahsan Tahir and recovered the complete chat history between him and the deceased anchor.
The preliminary examination of their conversations reportedly found no evidence of arguments, disputes, or heated exchanges between the two.
However, investigators are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the incident to determine what actually happened.
During questioning, Ahsan Tahir also provided details about the firearm allegedly involved in the incident.
According to police sources, the suspect told investigators that he had purchased a .30-bore pistol some time ago and possessed two magazines for the weapon.
In his statement, Tahir claimed that the pistol discharged accidentally and that the bullet struck Rabia Ahsan in the lower part of her neck.
He further stated that Rabia collapsed immediately after being shot, leaving him extremely frightened and distressed.
According to his account, he then arranged for Rescue 1122 to be contacted so that emergency medical assistance could be provided.
Police are examining the suspect’s statement alongside the available evidence to establish whether the shooting was accidental or whether other circumstances were involved.
The recovered mobile phone conversations are also being reviewed as part of the investigation.
Although the initial chat analysis reportedly revealed no signs of a dispute between the suspect and Rabia Ahsan, this finding alone does not establish the circumstances of the shooting or confirm the suspect’s version of events.
Investigators will need to assess the available evidence before reaching any final conclusion.
The case has attracted attention because Rabia Ahsan was associated with the television industry, and questions remain about the circumstances that led to her death.
Police have not yet announced a final conclusion regarding the suspect’s claim that the firearm discharged accidentally.
Further developments in the investigation are expected to help clarify the sequence of events and determine whether any criminal responsibility can be established.
For now, the investigation remains ongoing, and the suspect’s account has not been independently established as fact.
