  "account": "RAWALPINDI: A duty magistrate has extended the physical remand of Hina Javed's husband and her domestic servant for an additional three days to continue investigating her murder. Hina, a 45-year-old digital media executive, was discovered dead with her hands bound at an apartment in Rawalpindi on Thursday. Police stated that the victim's body displayed signs of torture and formed a special investigation team, detaining the husband, servant, and her father-in-law during the investigation. The suspects were presented before Duty Magistrate Rana Shah Nawaz after completing the initial three-day remand. The police requested seven more days for the suspects' custody, but the duty magistrate granted another three-day extension for further investigation. Shah Khawar, the family's advocate, informed the media that the investigation was progressing well, with evidence collected and forensic examination conducted. The postmortem revealed that Hina's hyoid bone was broken and torture marks were present on her body. The complete report will be submitted after the Punjab Forensic Science Agency (PFSA) provides its analysis. On Tuesday, the special investigation team moved the suspects to Lahore for DNA and polygraph tests. The polygraph, or lie detector test, aims to help police investigate crimes or clear suspects. Following the test, the suspects returned to Rawalpindi and appeared before the duty magistrate on Wednesday. Senior Superintendent of Police Tariq Mehboob recorded their statements, which indicated that the victim's body was dragged into the bathroom and her neck tied with wire to simulate a suicide, but the police uncovered the truth upon their arrival and gathered evidence. Regional Police Officer Babar Sarfraz Alpa disclosed that the incident occurred on August 20, when the police were initially alerted about potential thieves. The first information report was filed on August 20 at the Civil Lines police station under Sections 302 (premeditated murder) and 34 (common intention) of the Pakistan Penal Code by Hina's brother, Fahad Javed, alleging that she had been murdered by her husband, father, and domestic servant.",
