ISLAMABAD: The federal police today (Monday) claimed to have arrested the man involved in the killing of JUI-F local leader Mufti Ikram and two others including his 13-year-old son.
According to details, the accused, identified as Shahid-ur-Rehman, was caught from Hangu in a raid. A police spokesperson has informed that the arrested accused has also confessed to the crime.
Earlier on February 27, Assailants shot dead Mufti Ikram-ur-Rehman and two others on Prince Road in Islamabad. The police had said that three assailants opened fire at Mufti Ikram, his son and a student.
Following the incident, JUI-F workers blocked Murree Road as they protested with the bodies. The protesters later dispersed after being given assurance by the law enforcement agency to arrest those responsible.
Taking notice of the shooting that occurred late on Saturday night, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid had given the police 48 hours to nab the culprits.
