Gujranwala police have arrested a man in connection with the killing of three Christian women in Rasul Nagar. Authorities say the suspect allegedly lured them with promises of opportunities abroad before carrying out the murders.

 

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Operations Rana Ghiyur Ahmad Khan said the investigation began after the body of an unidentified woman was discovered in the Civil Nagar area, which falls under the Alipur Chattha police jurisdiction.

 

The Punjab Forensic Science Agency (PFSA) collected samples, and with the help of NADRA, the victim was identified as 45-year-old Nazia. Police then launched a search for her sisters, Bimla and Maria, who were reported missing.

 

Investigations later revealed that the two sisters were found dead too in Hafizabad.

 

A police team led by Superintendent of Police (SP) Saddar Akhtar Inayat and Station House Officer (SHO) Aurangzeb carried out continuous inquiries, using modern investigative techniques to gather evidence.

 

Authorities said that suspicion soon fell on Nazia’s husband, as he was reportedly the last person seen with her. He was taken into custody for questioning.

 

During interrogation, the suspect, named Mansha, admitted to killing his wife and her two sisters. Police said he carried out the murders with help from his nephews, Dawood and Subhan. 

 

According to investigators, Bimla and Maria were killed and their bodies dumped in the Lower Chenab Canal, from where they were later recovered in Hafizabad.

 

Police added that Mansha told investigators he had grown suspicious of his wife’s character, which led him to plan and execute the killings.

 

The City Police Officer (CPO) of Gujranwala praised the investigative team for resolving the case, calling it a significant achievement given the complexity of the triple murder.
