Rebutting the statements of Federal Ombudsman Kashmala Tariq, in a video message, a survivor of the tragic Islamabad car accident confirmed that her son Azlan Khan was the one driving the car.
Four young men were killed and two others were wounded when a Tariq family vehicle struck a vehicle in the capital. The accident took place late on Monday night on Srinagar Highway.
The video statement from Mujibur Rehman followed Tariq’s accusations that it was not her son driving the vehicle that caused the accident.
On Wednesday, he testified that he saw his son, Azlan, driving his car. Rehman, the surviving victim of the crash, called on Prime Minister Imran Khan to do justice in the matter.

A government number plate with five cars, allegedly part of the VIP motorcade, was one of the vehicles. Islamabad police reported that the former MNA protocol vehicles had broken the traffic signal in the G-11 sector and collided with two vehicles. In the CCTV video, however, it was not clear whether or not the vehicles broke the signal.
In addition, sources reported that Waqas Khan, Tariq’s husband, and Azlan’s son, were also sitting in one of the vehicles. Police allegedly arrested her husband, while her son and others were fleeing the scene.
