Talking to Bol News, Javeria Siddique had said she had contacted the PIMS administration and they had said that the forensic test was taking time for the post-mortem report to be completed.

On broadcasting pictures of Arshad Sharif by an anchorperson of a local TV channel, Javeria had said the anchorperson and TV channel had apologized from the family. “I was shocked to see the pictures. The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) should not allow showing such pictures,” she had said.
