The Houston Police Department has not yet identified the driver responsible for the hit-and-run. Although a witness saw the incident, they were unable to provide any details about the car or the suspect.
Pakistani Consul General Aftab Chaudhary and former federal minister Babar Ghauri visited Zaheer in the hospital to offer support. Additionally, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has taken notice of the accident and directed the consul general in Texas to provide assistance to Zaheer in every possible way.
Expressing his concern, Dar prayed for Zaheer’s successful recovery and assured that the government will extend full support to her and her family. “If her family wishes to travel to Houston, we will offer all the help they need. She should not feel alone in this difficult time,” he stated.
