Acting as a responsible citizen, Asim turned back; as he stopped near the motorcycle, the young woman ran to the other side of his vehicle.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The accused, Saad, exchanged heated words with Group Captain Asim and, within moments, opened fire. Asim succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The police took the woman involved\u2014identified as Nimra\u2014into custody and began questioning her.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Nimra stated that the accused was a colleague who had offered to take her to work but had intended to divert the route and take her elsewhere; Group Captain Asim had intervened in time to ensure her safety. The martyred Group Captain Asim is survived by his widow, a daughter, and a son.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Following the incident, Group Captain Asim Tariq&#8217;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.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: left;\">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.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Nimra was traveling with her wretched &#8220;friend&#8221; from Khanna Pul Expressway when the incident occurred. They had stopped at that location and were arguing with each other. The victim intervened, which angered the killer; he then pulled out a gun and shot the officer dead. The coward himself fled the scene.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Anyhow, the incident again tells us, no need to intervene in others affairs , human life has no value here &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Our sincere and deep condolences with the aggreived family and prayers for the victim of an enmity that he had nothing to do with.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: left;\">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.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: left;\">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.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tazeen Akhtar This is your Safe City ?
