PPP lawmaker Shahnaz Ansari, who was shot dead in Sindh’s Naushahro Feroze district a day earlier, was laid to rest on Sunday.
Her funeral prayers were offered in the grounds of the high school in Naushahro Feroze and attended by lawmakers and leaders of the PPP.
Naushahro Feroze Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mohammad Farooq later told reporters that police had made some arrests.
“We had some meetings with the complainants. Some suspects they told us about [and] we had some information of our own, on the basis of which we made some arrests.”
The SSP, however, did not confirm or deny whether an FIR has been registered. According to the deceased’s family, an FIR has not been registered yet.
The SSP denied that Ansari had asked them for security saying, “this practice has ended sometime before of providing security to parliamentarians […] but if she had asked us for security, we would have provided it to her.”
He was responding to a claim made by the slain MPA’s husband a day earlier that he and his wife had visited the SSP some days ago and given him an application seeking security. He said that “the MPA used to come to us frequently as she was a political personality, she came 3-4 days ago too but I don’t have any idea about the doctor [victim’s husband].”
According to sources, Ansari had informed the local authorities about a month ago that her late brother-in-law Dr Zahid Khokhar’s family was threatening her of dire consequences because she was resisting their efforts to forcibly occupy the agriculture land meant for her widowed sister and her children.
