The last survivor among the four friends killed in the deadly road accident said that federal ombudswoman Kashmala’s son was driving the vehicle that crashed into another car and a motorcycle in Sector G-11 of Islamabad during the wee hours of Tuesday.
However, Federal Ombudswoman Kashmala Tariq claimed otherwise that the four-wheel vehicle was not being driven by his son but by his driver.
However, Mujeeb-ur-Rehman, the survivor of five friends who had come to Islamabad to appear in the entry test, said that after the accident, he had himself witnessed that Kashmala’s son, Azlan, was in the driving seat.
He refuted the reports circulating on digital media and assertions made by the federal ombudswoman.
Meanwhile, the government has not taken any side and at any instance backed the federal ombudsperson Kashmala Tariq after the deadly accident and instead demanded her to step down.
Special Assistant to Prime Minister of Pakistan on Political Communication Shahbaz Gill said that the federal ombudswoman should have resigned after the accident in which her family has been alleged perpetrators.
