Overview
- Police say unidentified attackers intercepted 22-year-old Amanullah Qureshi near Keshav Chowk and shot him multiple times while he was on a scooter, after which his family took him to GTB Hospital where he was declared brought dead.
- Investigators registered a murder case at Welcome police station under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and relevant Arms Act provisions and formed multiple teams to trace the shooters.
- Forensic teams recovered empty shell casings, sent evidence for examination, ordered a post-mortem and are reviewing CCTV and eyewitness accounts to establish the sequence of events and identify suspects.
- No arrests have been reported so far as police conduct raids and question locals, and heavy deployment remains in the neighbourhood because family statements calling for retaliation have raised local tension.
- Police say a personal-enmity or revenge motive is a working theory and investigators are also examining reporting that the victim’s brother was earlier arrested in a separate murder case as part of building the case context.
