The family of Laiba Ejaz, a gold medallist who died by suicide after reportedly losing money in a fraud case, has confirmed the recovery of the amount involved in the incident.
Laiba’s father said Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Islamabad’s police chief helped return the family’s lost money. He expressed relief over the recovery and said he had received justice following the death of the main suspect, Nauman.
He also thanked members of the public who supported the family during the difficult period and stood by them as the case gained attention.
Laiba was a gold medallist at the International Islamic University Islamabad. Her death following the reported financial fraud sparked concern and brought attention to the consequences of financial scams for victims and their families.
According to police, Nauman was shot by unidentified assailants while he was in custody during a recovery operation. The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain a significant part of the case.
The recovery of the money has brought financial relief to Laiba’s family. However, the incident has also raised questions about the circumstances of the suspect’s death while in police custody.
The case has drawn public attention to the need for effective action against financial fraud and appropriate safeguards during police operations. It also highlights the serious emotional impact that financial deception can have on victims and their loved ones.
Laiba’s father acknowledged the support received from the authorities and the public, while the reported recovery marks an important development for the family following the tragic loss of their daughter.
