Overview
- A 25-year-old IBA graduate and entrepreneur was taken after leaving his PECHS home and later found dead in Gulistan-e-Jauhar with a single gunshot wound to the chest and advanced decomposition.
- CCTV footage shows him entering the rear seat of a white vehicle and investigators say he had earlier taken an online taxi to a kitchen used by his dessert business before he disappeared.
- Officers recovered a password-protected iPhone about 200 metres from the scene and found a pistol pouch at the site; teams are trying to unlock the phone and locate the firearm.
- Police obtained call data records and are analysing more than 50 associated numbers while questioning the taxi driver, employees, the business partner and the victim's fiancée.
- Investigators say progress is hindered by poor-quality private CCTV, the phone's initial absence and decomposition of the body, and the victim's family has urged authorities to bring those responsible to justice.
