According to Press Information Department, Dr. Khan migrated to the United States from Karachi in the late 90s and had been practicing medicine for an extended period after specializing in Pediatrics. The police have since apprehended the alleged assailant, who is currently under investigation.

Emphasizing the need for a prompt investigation, the Ambassador said, “We hope for a swift inquiry into this crime by law enforcement agencies to deliver justice as soon as possible.”
