In the meantime, Shahrukh came to open the door and the mugger fired at him and fled.
The victim died on the spot. The CCTV footage of the incident had later gone viral on social media, prompting calls for the arrest of the culprit.
In a statement, police said investigators had identified constable Farzand Ali Jaffery as the prime suspect in the case and began a search for him. According to police, the constable shot himself dead near Gulshan-i-Iqbal’s Block-7 on Monday night to avoid arrest.
