No confirmation of Kidnapped SP's murder in Afghanistan: KP police chief



The federal government and police authorities on Tuesday said they had no confirmation regarding reports of the killing of Superintendent Police (SP) Tahir Khan Dawar, who went missing from Islamabad last month.

SP Dawar had gone missing from Islamabad on October 27. But speculation over the fate of the missing officer mounted on Tuesday when pictures of a dead body found in Afghanistan's Nangarhar province, purportedly that of Dawar, started circulating on social media platforms.

 State Minister for Interior Shehryar Afridi declined to comment over the veracity of the social media reports, saying it was a sensitive matter.

"It is a matter of national security and someone's life, and cannot be discussed on an open forum," Afridi said.

He said the government was seriously pursuing the cases of individuals whose loved ones have been missing.

Praying that such an incident may not have taken place, the minister said a fifth generation and cyberwar had been imposed on Pakistan.

"Photo-shopped [images] and fake news are being spread nowadays," he added.

Meanwhile, Inspector General (IG) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Salahuddin Mehsud said they were in touch with the Afghan government through concerned departments.

He said it was not possible to confirm the veracity of these reports at present. However, an official statement would be issued in case of its confirmation, he said.
