The daughter-in-law of Islamabad IGP, Bani Amin Khan, was found dead at her father’s house in University Town on Sunday afternoon.
Father of the deceased, Darya Khan said Waheeda slipped on the stairs and died on the spot. Waheeda was a mother of two and Ali Amin’s wife. The family of four resides in Islamabad. Waheeda had come to Peshawar to visit her father and brother, Khalid Rehman.
In contrast to Darya’s claims, there were reports of Waheeda being poisoned to death. “The father and two brothers told the husband she accidently slipped on the stairs. But Waheeda’s sister alleged she was poisoned,” said an official of the Town police. He added the daughters had a dispute with their father and brothers over inheritance.
Doctors also suspected Waheeda’s death was not an accident, said the official.
According to police, an FIR has been registered. However, no arrests had been made till the filing of this report. Waheeda’s organs were sent to Lahore to test for possible poisoning, a process which can take up to two months. The deceased’s body, meanwhile, was sent to Islamabad for burial.

This is disgusting and it is a real test for the Pakistani justice system. The IG Bani Amin Khan should be fully investigated and so should his son. They tell us its a new Pakistan but what kind of country do we live in if the highest member of the police force in our capital city is not investigated properly?
This is shocking even if an ordinary member of the public did it, but to hear this happening from a police man, not any police man but the IG is absolutely shocking.
If an ordinary poor man was suspected he would be tortured in prison right now, why is there a different rule for the rich and powerful?
The investigation should be more thorough and if guilty, the penalty even harsher if the IG has any involvement.
very sad
