According to the complainant, who’s name is Sohail, he and his friend Mustakim had visited Sohail’s ex-wife Ishrat’s place on Monday, where they found her with current boyfriend Yaseen.

Yaseen did not like Sohail and his friend showing up at Ishrat’s place, and later an argument ensued between them. Yaseen fired three rounds, and one of them hit Mustakim on the chest.

He was rushed to the Jag Pravesh Chandra hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead. Meanwhile, the police informed that Sohail has previous involvement in some cases, which is being verified.

The police have recovered two empty shells and one live round from the crime scene, while the deceased person’s body was shifted to the GTB hospital for post-mortem, the police official said.

Meanwhile the police have registered an FIR in this incident, and the hunt is on for the prime suspect.

Ishrat, who works at a bar, wanted to marry Yaseen, while she and Sohail had a divorce back in November 2023, and they also have a girl child who is now 1.5 years old.

Further investigation is underway in this case so as to ascertain the reason behind the incident, the police official added.
