Jatli Police in Rawalpindi have arrested a man along with his accomplice in connection with the killing of a friend, which occurred last week. The incident reportedly arose from a past dispute between the victim and the main suspect.

According to a Rawalpindi Police spokesperson, the suspects called the victim to their house under the pretext of iftar. While at the residence in Rawalpindi, the suspects shot the victim.

After the murder, the suspects attempted to remove evidence from the scene. They placed the victim’s body in a  van and transported it to the District Headquarters Hospital in Chakwal. Police said the suspects tried to make the incident appear as a suicide before fleeing the area.

Police registered a case in connection with the killing. The victim’s friend and the van driver have been arrested, while authorities are continuing efforts to apprehend others who helped the suspects.

SP Saddar Anum Sher of Rawalpindi said, “The arrested individuals will be presented in court with solid evidence to ensure they receive real punishment.”
