It seems the story of Farah Dogar’s murder which surfaced over the Internet two months ago refuses to go away. Ever since the story broke a number of evidences have emerged along with numerous emails commenting on the incidents related to the honour killing story. So far not a single news outlet has commented on the story. This delay on refuting the honour killing story is cementing the belief that there really is something afoul. It is may be this feeling which is leading many to write and comment upon the murder story.
One of the most interesting of the emails which I received commented on one Shireen Sardar. According to the email Shireen Sardar is a senior journalist at Reuters and was able to meet both Ex-Chief Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar and his daughter Farah Dogar in the last week of March. She claimed to have interviewed both of them. The news of her interview was the primary reason which put a sudden break on the spread of the news of Farah Dogar’s murders.
A couple of weeks later, another piece of news broke over the internet that Farah Dogar had died in Malaysia, because of her injuries and her father was arrested over her murder in Kuala Lumpur. This piece of information is in complete contrast to Shireen Sardar’s claim. The question that now arises is whether Shiree Sardar is lying or the story circulating the web is another piece of fabrication. Again, there is complete silence, this time from Shireen Sardar.
Shireen Sardar who had put her reputation at stake by declaring to have interviewed Farah Dogar when everyone was claiming she had been murdered and added to that the claim that she had interviewed Ex-Chief Justice Dogar when everyone else was claiming that he was in jail on murder charges, has now become the central figure of this story. And when she is asked about the honour killing incident, surely the most important question for her would not be whether she had interviewed Farah Dogar or not but how was she able to interview the Ex-Chief Justice in Islamabad while he was held up in a jail in Malaysia.
Of course there is the possibility that the entire story of Farah Dogar’s honour killing at the hands of her father is a fabrication to malign the Dogar family. But the excruciating delay in denying the story and complete absence of the story from mainstream media are further fueling the rumours.

I have read Shereen Sardar's email on Pakistani Press website. I agree it was her email which proved to be the biggest wall in the spread of this news. And if Farah Dogar is really found to have been murdered by her father or if Hameed Dogar is found to be outside the country when Shireen Sardar claimed to have interviewed him, then she should be tried along with Dogar for aiding the murder.

I think it was more than a week ago that a friend forwarded me an email which accused Shirin Sardar of helping Dogar family cover-up the tracks for the honor killing of Farah Dogar. If it is found that Dogar did manage to kill his daughter, Shirin Sardar should be given harsh punishments for helping the Dogar family cover-up a murder and for her unethical journalism.

In the last week of March there were a number of emails written and sent by the Ex-Chief Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar (as claimed by the sender of the email) to the administrators of websites displaying the article about Farah Dogar’s honor killing. Some of the website admins trembled with fear and immediately apologized, while others openly replied to provide proof of Farah Hameed Dogar being alive and well. The result was basically nothing. One or two websites deleted the news, while the spread of the story continued at lightening pace. Since then important new pieces of information have surfaced.According to one of the whistleblowers over the internet, Farah Dogar died in Malaysia and her father was arrested based on Farah’s statement before her untimely death. This raises the most important question of all. If the EX-CJP was in a jail in Malaysia at the time the story of this honor killing broke over the internet, then who was the person emailing the website admins and impersonating as EX-CJP Abdul Hameed Dogar.As the person who emailed impersonating as EX-CJP can easily be traced via email, should the admins of the websites launch an FIR? Because the impersonator has broken the law on two accounts. Firstly by impersonating someone and secondly trying to stop a genuine piece of news through open threats. But before launching any FIR the obvious step should be to email the impersonator back and confirm with him/her if he really is EX-CJP Abdul Hameed Dogar and if he was in Malaysia at the time the threatening email was sent. Then after receiving the reply the IP address of the two emails should be checked with location tracers. After this has been done one of the two options would be left. Either EX-CJP Dogar was in Malaysia at the time of the first email and had sent that email from his jail cell or someone impersonating as EX-CJP Dogar had sent that email from Pakistan. In the first case the murder of Farah Dogar is automatically confirmed, while in the second case the admins of the website will know that they were not given any legal threat from the real CJP Dogar and are actually free to publish the story of Farah Dogar’s murder on their sites.The murder of Farah Dogar now involves the governments of two countries. No matter how powerful and rich a criminal is, destroying every single piece of evidence in two countries is impossible. The only thing possible is to delay the news in the mainstream media. But this is possible only for a limited time. If not from Pakistan then from Malaysia the news would break.
