PESHAWAR: Demanding protection from the government, journalist and social worker Ashrafuddin Pirzada asked police and security departments that they must trace the woman and his driver allegedly dacoits, criminals, terrorists or looters who came to his home twice and posed threat to his life.
Speaking to Fata Voice Ashrafuddin Pirzada said the two persons including a woman came to his home in a car around 12am.
He said the woman accompanied by a male wanted to go inside his home. He said the woman asked his wife if she wanted to collect some water in a bottle to check its quality in a Lab as he wanted to buy a house to live at Asad Colony in Regi Lalma in Peshawar.
The journalist said he later asked his neighbours and his wife too told him that in the past few months the same woman and man in the same car were seen knocking on his house door. He said a woman of around 30-35 age knocked on the door of his home. She told his wife that she wanted to collect water in a bottle as she wants to check its quality in Lab.
“I came out of my room when heard the word of checking the water she asked, from my wife, I asked the lady from which department she is? she replied that she wants to buy a home this is why she wanted to check the quality of water”, Pirzada maintained.
Pirzada said It was suspicious and a dangerous incident that happened to him as he and his family already fled his home town in Khyber tribal district due to militants.
Pirzada said the lady suppose to collect water from the main tubewell at the Asad colony where he lived where fresh water is available 24 hours. He said it was an act of terrorism committed by the two coming again and again to his home and asking for the same fake information about water.
Pirzada said he felt danger as the same couple had visited his house twice in the past few months and maybe he is under their surveillance and posed a life threat to him and to his family members.
Ashrafuddin Pirzada requested police and other security agencies to take it seriously and ensure the protection of himself and his family members. He said being a journalist and social worker he faced several untoward incidents in the past and fled his home town due to militancy and terrorism.
