Group Captain Asim Tariq shot dead by abductor who was trying to drag a girl into his car @ E9 in front of PAF headquarters at Margala Road – Nimra is the name of the girl
That is the reality of the safe city of Islamabad, that is the capital city of Pakistan and the area under discussion here is the most protected area withing the capital city as all around are the headquarters and offices of Pakistan air force and Pakistan Navy and other military installations etc.
A group captain has been gunned down here at the square of E9 at Margalla Road by the unknown who were trying to abduct a girl from the scene and the groupt captain intervened only to sort out the matter.
An unidentified young man was attempting to force a girl into a vehicle. Group Captain Asim Tariq, who was passing by, tried to intervene. During the altercation, the unidentified armed suspect opened fire with a pistol, striking Group Captain Asim Tariq, who succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
Following the incident, Group Captain Asim Tariq’s body was shifted to the Pakistan Air Force Hospital (Unit 2), while Additional SHO Siddique and Duty Officer Naveed from the Margalla Police Station immediately arrived at the scene to collect evidence and initiate an investigation.
The police have taken the girl involved in the incident—identified as Nimra—into custody for questioning, while the suspect who opened fire and his accomplices fled the scene in their vehicle.
Here it is worth mentioning that mostly the sons and daughters of military officials and other highly placed and well to do families study in these universities. On sunday the universities are closed. Therefore this unfortunate incident can not be seen as friendship affairs or such situation between the students. Whatever it is , will soon come out after investigation with the girl and the killer will also be soon arrested.
Anyhow, the incident again tells us, no need to intervene in others affairs , human life has no value here ……………………………
Our sincere and deep condolences with the aggreived family and prayers for the victim of an enmity that he had nothing to do with.
Group Captain is a senior commissioned officer rank in the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and many other Commonwealth air forces, holding the NATO rank code of OF-5. It is equivalent to the rank of Colonel in the Army and Captain in the Navy.
In the PAF, a Group Captain is a senior officer who typically leads a flying wing or serves in important command and staff roles at airbases or headquarters. The rank sits directly above Wing Commander and immediately below Air Commodore.
