  "account": "Pakistani television journalist Rabia Ahsan was found shot dead at her home in Rawalpindi on November 8, 2022. Her husband, Ahsan Tahir, was arrested as police began their investigation. A Rawalpindi court extended Tahir's custody by four days, allowing further questioning. The case was registered under Pakistan's murder law, Section 302. Ahsan, 41, was a presenter on 92 News HD's current affairs show Muqabil, working alongside Amir Mateen. Colleagues and the journalist community expressed grief over her death. According to the FIR, Ahsan's sister heard a gunshot and found her lying on the floor with Tahir holding a pistol. Police recovered a .30-bore pistol and a spent cartridge from the scene. Tahir initially claimed the shooting was accidental and did not possess a valid firearm licence. A court extended his custody further. The political establishment, including First Lady Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari, condemned the violence and called for a thorough investigation. The investigation into Ahsan's death is ongoing, with the exact circumstances of the shooting yet to be determined.",
