Its a woman giving private tuition in her home, as countless people do. Its not an 'academy' and that was never the issue in amy case. Why are we even discussing academies?

[Zarrar Khuhro @ZarrarKhuhro]

The issue was never unregistered academies...the issue is building safety (among others) and lack if standards in general. How does this issue become about tuition centers?

A former SP of Islamabad Police murdered 28-year-old Hamza Khan, an employee of the Senate of Pakistan, and buried his body in the lawn of his brother-in-law’s residence in Mansehra. Horses were reportedly kept over the burial site in an apparent attempt to conceal the crime. In April 2025, with the assistance of Mansehra Police, Islamabad Police recovered Hamza’s body from a pit where it had been buried beneath soil and animal waste. The post-mortem examination revealed that Hamza had been shot in the back of the head. According to his brother, Muhammad Waqar, Hamza had also been subjected to severe physical torture. His front teeth were broken and there were visible marks of violence on his face.

Before his disappearance, Hamza had informed his family that he was travelling to Mansehra to meet the father of a friend, former SP Arif Hussain Shah, regarding a financial dispute. When he failed to return for two days, the family contacted those concerned and were told that Hamza had already been sent back towards Islamabad.

Subsequently, Hamza’s brother lodged an FIR at Police Station Aabpara. During the investigation, Hamza’s friend and his father, former SP Arif Hussain Shah, were questioned. They maintained the same position, namely that Hamza had left Mansehra and had been sent back to Islamabad.

As the investigation progressed, a significant development occurred when Hamza’s mobile phones were recovered on 19 March from a green belt in Sector G-10, Islamabad. According to SHO Syed Asim Ghaffar, police immediately searched the surrounding area and even carried out excavation at suspicious locations, but no trace of Hamza was found. The recovery of the phones convinced investigators that this was not an ordinary missing-person case but a serious and carefully planned crime.

The investigation then widened considerably. SHO Syed Asim Ghaffar later stated that the available evidence increasingly pointed towards Mansehra. Further inquiries ultimately revealed that the incident had taken place in the Khali area of Mansehra.

According to the prosecution case, Hamza Khan was shot dead on 16 March over a financial dispute. The perpetrators buried his body in an eight-foot-deep pit and used animal waste in an effort to eliminate traces of the crime. After gathering the necessary evidence, police arrested the suspects and, approximately one month later, succeeded in recovering the body from Mansehra.

In 2026, Additional District and Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka, Islamabad, concluded the trial and convicted former SP Arif Hussain Shah for the murder of Hamza Khan, sentencing him to death.

This case is a remarkable example of determined and professional police work. The investigation required Islamabad Police, led by SHO Syed Asim Ghaffar and his team, to pursue evidence wherever it led, including against a former senior police officer. Through meticulous collection of evidence, sustained investigation, and careful prosecution of the case, the investigating officers succeeded in uncovering the truth and bringing the matter to its logical conclusion, culminating in a conviction and sentence by a court of law.

Pakistan is a major regional power and an important partner for the EU.

Today in Islamabad, I met with Prime Minister @CMShehbaz and Deputy PM and Foreign Minister @MIshaqDar50 for talks on further strengthening EU–Pakistan ties. I also met Chief of Defence Forces Syed Asim Munir in the Army HQ in Rawalpindi.

I commended Pakistan for its key role in facilitating US-Iran talks.

The EU is Pakistan's largest export destination and Pakistan is the world's leading beneficiary of EU trade preferences, the GSP+.

We are deep into a regional war of attrition, one in which it is more likely that the Netanyahu coalition will be replaced before the Iranian regime is. And that is not saying too much.

اگر محض بہادری کو ہی معیار بنایا جائے تو پنکی بہت دلیر خاتون ہے کل اس نے جو کہا “کہ ہم تو ڈوبے ہیں صنم تجھ کو بھی لے ڈوبیں گے” ان مشکل حالات میں ایک دلیرانہ بیان تھا، بہت سے جرائم پیشہ لوگ بھی اپنے وقت کے بہادر انسان تھے اگر کراچی کی حالیہ تاریخ اٹھا لیں تو رحمان ڈکیٹ اور دادل بہت دلیر تھے پولیس والے آپکو اس طرح کے کئی واقعات سنائینگے کہ جب کسی اشتہاری کو پکڑا اور پوچھا کہ تمہارا کیا علاج ہے جواب آیا “موت” سیاست میں آپکو کئی مثالیں ملیں گی ٹرمپ بہت دلیر ہے ہٹلر بہت بہادر انسان تھا

کہانی کا اخلاقی نتیجہ: جسطرح ذہانت کا بھی معاشرے کیلئے مثبت اور منفی استعمال ہوتا ہے اسی طرح دلیری بھی ہے اگر وہ کسی مثبت کام کیلئے نہ ہو تو ایسے دلیر لوگ معاشرے کیلئے الٹا عذاب بن کر نازل ہوتے ہیں

In this 24/7 news cycle, audiences demand fresh content every minute, piling pressure on journalists. Hurried stories get trashed for “better” ones. The audience wants fast service and top-quality news diet without trade-offs but every choice has a price.

Any analysis without information is mere guesswork, often laced with cognitive biases. The more you know, the further your opinions reform—and you edge closer to reality.

Hello @shivank_8mishra 👋
No literate person in Pakistan would spell “Habib”, “Nazeer”, or “Muhammad” in Urdu that way. So the likelihood of the National Database & Registration Authority (@NadraPak) making such a glaring error is close to zero.

That image is fake!

[Anas Mallick @AnasMallick]

Also, covering Diplomacy is far different than covering local politics, crime or anything else — Here, words matter, opinions don’t and you’re always in for the long haul — The AFP reporter who did that horrendous piece of how jounos were ‘bored out of death’ during the first round of US - Iran talks has clearly never covered negotiations — Negotiations are to be kept in secrecy, its not a cricket match or football where there’d be running commentary, quit with the entitlement.

[Nadeem Haque @nadeemhaque]

Why do these news channels come the Iranian diaspora? I think all diaspora has lost their marbles. They don’t want to be part of their host country and they want to shit upon their parent country.

None of them see the aggression towards their own is a major problem

A country that has been victim for 50 years for no reason other than the fact that the US aggression and Israeli propaganda demanded it
