Karachi: The family of journalist Khawar Hussain, who allegedly died by suicide in Sanghar, arrived in Karachi from the United States on Monday morning. According to *Express News*, his parents and brother landed at Jinnah International Airport before traveling to Sanghar via Hyderabad.
Speaking to the media, Khawar Hussain’s father dismissed the suicide claim, stating, “My son was a very brave man. He could not have shot himself. This is murder.”
