Bushra Ansari
  • Bushra Ansari is a veteran actress in Pakistani showbiz.
  • She addressed the court’s decision to sustain Zahir Jaffer’s death sentence.
  • IHC affirmed Jaffer’s death sentence and converted his life in prison into the death penalty.

Bushra Ansari, a veteran actress from Pakistan, addressed the court’s decision to sustain Zahir Jaffer’s death sentence in the Noor Mukadam murder case on Friday. On Monday, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) affirmed Jaffer’s death sentence and converted his life in prison into the death penalty.

In response to appeals against the sentences imposed on the convicted defendants and the exoneration of co-accused in the gruesome murder of the 27-year-old lady, the court issued the judgement that had been reserved on December 21 of last year. Following Jaffer’s crime for the rape and murder of Noor, the decision to condemn him to death twice was taken. When the rape was proven, he received a 25-year sentence with hard labour and a fine of Rs0.2 million.

Bushra posted on Instagram: “I hope this happens but it would have been better if he had met the same fate as Noor Makhdam. He should be given an exemplary death.”

She said, “Abid Malhi and Shahnnawaz Ameer should die a horrible death. Numerous others spoke up in support of Bushra’s viewpoint.

“Yes, a lot needs to change. But it is a first step at least,” wrote a person. “His parents should also be held accountable as they were also involved (knew and did nothing in fact hid it),” wrote another.

On July 20, 2021, Noor, who was 27 years old, was discovered dead at the home of the main suspect, Jaffer, in affluent Sector F-7/4 of Islamabad.

The shocking murder shocked the entire nation, aroused indignation, and led to demands for Noor’s justice, which led to a successful trial and the killer’s eventual conviction.

Mathira
  • Mathira is a stunning and fearless Pakistani television personality.
  • She is known for speaking her mind out despite of the consequences.
  • She criticized Tuba Anwar for comparing herself to Noor Mukadam.

Mathira recently criticized Syeda Tuba Anwar for comparing herself to Noor Mukadam in her own Bol TV show, The Insta Show. Speaking to Furqan Qureshi about Tuba, Mathira said, “I have heard a statement that Syeda Tuba Anwar (Dr Aamir Liaquat Hussain’s ex-wife) said that she can relate to Noor Mukadam, she went through the same path, she faced a lot, I would say, “Dr. Aamir Liaquat Hussain gave her career and recognition. No one should compare herself to Noor Mukadam as she went through hell.

At the same time, we should all respect the dead. Aamir Bhai is no longer with us. It’s strange that people talk poorly about the dead, especially if it’s by ex-wife because Bushra Iqbal is here and she never said a bad word.” Social media can endanger anyone’s life, so use caution, said Furqan Qureshi.

Noor Mukadam
  • Pakistani celebrities expressed their grief over Noor Mukadam’s 1st death anniversary.
  • One year has passed since the horrifying incident.
  • Late Noor was brutally murdered on July 20, 2021, in Islamabad.

One year has passed since the dreadful night in Islamabad when Noor Mukadam, a former diplomat’s daughter, was brutally murdered by Zahir Jaffer after being physically and sexually assaulted by him.

One year has passed since the horrifying incident that saw Noor, 27, brutally murdered, but her family and parents are still waiting and seeking justice.

“It will be a year after Noor separated from us on July 20,” She said she and her family and relatives knew how they have spent the last one year. “We haven’t slept at night and haven’t found comfort during the day either since our daughter left.”

She also asked that on Wednesday, July 20, all women assemble in F9 park to stand with her in remembrance of Noor and defend the protection of their daughters.

Celebrities from Pakistan also came forward to show their support for the tragedy. Ushna Shah, a star of Lollywood, laments the lack of justice. Sajal Aly and Mawra Hocane also expressed their opinions on the subject.

Noor Mukadam, the former ambassador’s daughter, was decapitated on July 20, 2021 in the F-7 neighbourhood of Islamabad. The dead was Shaukat Mukadam’s daughter; she was Pakistan’s ambassador to Kazakhstan and South Korea.

On the evening of July 20, the Islamabad police detained suspect Zahir Zakir Jaffer at his residence, where, in the opinion of Noor’s parents, he murdered her with a sharp object and severed her skull.
