Previously concerns emerged that the case would be sabotaged due to Ali Salman Alvi’s influence, or the death would be painted as a suicide.
It is hoped that good officers of @RwpPolice will not be influenced. They’ve arrested the accused. FIR mentions signs of torture on body. The racket of extortion & blackmailing of women also needs to be investigated to bring the GANG to justice.#JusticeForZahra pic.twitter.com/UZSpe2AlHd

I know so many men in media who are abusive but who can put hands on a media person?? They will blackmail anyone to get away with it.

Yet people are voicing that their fears have been proven true, and that the case is being tampered with.
That letter should be made public.
That is actually letter of a mother to daughter suffering abuse.
As per @SagiArif , that letter does not mention death, departure, goodbye, suicide or any think which hints suicide.
Also, they claim that letter was not there when family arrived https://t.co/hxyZHctjpN— Ahmad Waqass Goraya 🇵🇸 (@AWGoraya) July 16, 2020

Others hold Ali Salman Alvi accountable for pushing his wife to suicide.
Exactly! I had reported it that very day after speaking to Sadaf Zahra's Family! Ali Salman Alvi is 100% responsible for pushing the poor girl to the point, where committing suicide was the ONLY option she thought she was left with! Very sad, indeed! :/https://t.co/UvloYABXpo

People are concerned about allowing such people to steer the debate on women’s rights and women issues, while personally being a culprit.

Remember, even if @alisalmanalvi gets out of jail and not proven a murderer, he will still be a domestic abuser, wife beater, womanizer, blackmailer, troll, and much more.
Don't forget! #JusticeForZahra

Social media activist/TV Producer Ali Salman Alvi is a pathological womaniser, blackmailer & murderer of his wife!
Those who give sermons of morality on Social Media are mostly highest order perverts themselves.
Hope he’s hanged for his crimes.#JusticeForZahra pic.twitter.com/yLV6wTkTaL— Mona Alam (@MonaAlamm) July 8, 2020
