In a video statement shared on his social media account, Zalmay said he possessed the “original, unaltered footage” but was not revealing it owing to Pashtun cultural values.

In concluding his video, Zalmay expressed gratitude to the Mardan police, particularly DSP Ijaz Khan, for their swift action to arrest the accused.
