The circumstances surrounding the death of Khawar continue to raise questions, with critics pointing to gaps in the ongoing police investigation.
CCTV footage released by police shows Khawar stepping out of his car and entering a hotel. Where he reportedly asked about the washroom. Observers say this detail suggests he was unfamiliar with the location, challenging the notion that he was a regular visitor.
Investigators have yet to clarify why Khawar remained parked in his car for an extended period before entering the hotel. The footage, limited to a specific range and timeframe, has also sparked debate. Analysts argue that activities outside the camera’s coverage, as well as events before. And after the recorded period, should form part of the inquiry.
Police have so far not identified any motive for the incident. If suicide is suspected, investigators are being urged to establish what circumstances could have driven Khawar to such a decision. Friends and acquaintances have reported that he appeared cheerful. And in regular contact with them in the days leading up to his death, raising doubts about the suicide theory.
Questions also remain about Khawar’s state of mind and health at the time of the incident. While the washroom visit has been highlighted by police, observers note that such behaviour is routine and does not necessarily indicate distress.
Additionally, there has been no official word on Khawar’s phone records, last communications, or other key details that typically form the basis of an investigation.
The Chief Minister of Sindh had earlier stated that the province’s best officers would be assigned to the case. However, concerns remain that the current investigation is placing too much emphasis on a single CCTV clip, leaving critical aspects of the case unaddressed.
