NA body summons Punjab police chief over Hina Javed murder case

On October 29, 2026, the National Assembly Standing Committee on Interior and Narcotics Control summoned key Punjab police officials to discuss the brutal murder of Hina Javed. The committee meeting took place at Parliament House, Islamabad, and included the Punjab IGP, regional police officer, city police officer Rawalpindi, SSP Investigation, and additional IG CCD. The Punjab government had also formed a three-member committee to review the investigation.

The investigation revealed that Hina Javed had suffered brutal torture, as indicated by blue marks on her hands and arms and a deep wound on her neck. DNA analysis showed that bloodstains on a bedsheet, door lock, and handle matched the DNA of the domestic servant, Zeeshan Arshad. The panel examined the crime scene, met Hina's family, and questioned both Hina's husband and the domestic servant at Adiala Jail, where they were placed on judicial remand.

Hina's family expressed mistrust in the Rawalpindi police investigation and claimed that the police were protecting the main accused while blaming the domestic servant. The initial postmortem and police report described Hina's body as found in her apartment's washroom with signs of torture, including a strangulation mark, an injury below her right lip, and bleeding from her nose.
