Upon receiving a PCR call about a shootout, a police team reached the scene where they discovered blood on the street. Investigation revealed that the victim, who was shot at, succumbed to his injuries later at the hospital.
The police team used technical surveillance and local intelligence to identify two suspects from CCTV footage. Acting on a tip-off, they set a trap in the Loni Road area, where they successfully apprehended Suhail and Mehran, who were riding a Scooty.
During the arrest, police recovered two semi-automatic pistols, including the one used in the murder, along with five live cartridges. The Scooty used in the crime was also seized.
Under sustained interrogation, both the suspects confessed to the crime citing an old enmity with the victim as the motive. They detailed how Mehran had engaged Rizwan in conversation while Suhail shot him from behind. The investigation is ongoing, with efforts focused on tracing the source of the weapons and determining the suspects’ involvement in other criminal activities.
