How sad. Mir Javed Rehman passed away. Very soft spoken and nice man. Had known him and his family all my life. Talked to family yesterday to find out about his health. May Allah give them the strength to bear this loss.

Mir Javed ur Rahman had inherited the media group from his father, Mir Khalil-ur-Rahman. His younger brother, Jang Geo Editor-in-Chief Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman, who is under NAB’s custody in Lahore, had asked the authorities concerned to allow him to travel to Karachi in order to see his ailing brother.
The Bureau, officials said, allowed him to travel to Karachi but Geo News reported that he could not meet his brother.
