ASF official has died after sustaining critical injuries from a gunshot at Islamabad International Airport. The incident took place while the officer was on duty, prompting an immediate emergency response and an official investigation into the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
According to initial reports, the deceased official has been identified as Zeeshan Akhtar, who was serving with the Airport Security Force. He was deployed at Tower Number 4 of Islamabad International Airport at the time of the incident.
Officials said the gunshot was fired from the officer’s official service weapon. The exact circumstances that led to the discharge have not yet been confirmed. Authorities are continuing to investigate the incident to determine how the shooting occurred.
Following the incident, fellow ASF personnel and emergency responders rushed the injured officer to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad. Doctors made efforts to save his life, but he later succumbed to his injuries despite receiving medical treatment.
Police were informed immediately after the incident and arrived at the scene to begin legal and procedural formalities. Investigators collected initial evidence and have launched an inquiry to establish the facts surrounding the case.
Authorities have not yet released further details regarding the cause of the shooting. Officials are expected to examine all available evidence, including the service weapon and witness statements, before reaching any conclusions.
The Airport Security Force is responsible for ensuring the safety and security of airports across Pakistan. ASF personnel perform a wide range of duties, including passenger screening, airport surveillance, access control, and maintaining security at sensitive installations.
The incident has drawn attention because it occurred within one of the country’s busiest airports. However, airport operations continued while relevant authorities handled the investigation and completed the necessary legal procedures.
Officials have urged the public to avoid speculation until the investigation is completed. They said all aspects of the incident are being examined to determine exactly what happened.
