Islamabad Police Arrest Five in Businessman’s Killing Using AI Tools

The case showcases Islamabad’s push to pair AI with Safe City cameras to track violent gangs.

Overview

  • Islamabad Police said Tuesday they arrested five suspects within 24 hours using AI analysis of Safe City camera feeds.
  • Investigators linked the detainees to the inter‑provincial Mansoor Khan gang, including two Afghan nationals, after raids in Charsadda and Mardan recovered weapons.
  • The attack, which the FIR says began around 2:45 a.m. Monday, saw five gunmen enter the farmhouse, struggle with Aamir Awan, shoot him in the abdomen, and flee as his sons rushed in.
  • Awan was taken first to PIMS and then a private hospital, where he died during surgery, and police said they would add murder charges to the robbery case filed under Section 397.
  • CCTV shows intruders in bulletproof vests carrying submachine guns, guards were overpowered and robbed, and forensic testing and suspect identifications are pending as questioning continues.
