RAWALPINDI:  The father of Zeeshan Arshad, a domestic worker accused of assisting in the murder of Hina Javed, has claimed that his son is innocent and is being wrongfully portrayed as a key suspect in the case.

Muhammad Arshad said his son had been working at the victim’s residence for around seven months before the incident. He alleged that investigators were shifting the responsibility for the murder onto Zeeshan despite his claims that the young man had been forced into the situation.

“My son is innocent,” Arshad said, maintaining that Zeeshan had no role in planning or carrying out the killing.

Zeeshan has been accused of assisting Faisal Asghar, Hina’s husband, in the murder. Police previously alleged that Faisal had offered money to the domestic worker to help him commit the crime. However, Zeeshan’s father has disputed this account and presented a different version of the events leading to Hina’s death.
