Laiba Ejaz suicide tragedy: suspect dies before trial in alleged accomplices’ firing
ISLAMABAD, Oct 21 (APP):Muhammad Nauman, a suspect in the case involving the suicide of student Laiba Ejaz, was killed after allegedly being shot by his own accomplices during an attack on an Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police team in the limits of Ramna Police Station.
According to ICT Police, the incident occurred when a police team was taking the suspect to recover evidence and property on the basis of information he had provided during investigation.
Police said four armed men riding two motorcycles, who were allegedly hiding along the route, opened indiscriminate fire on the police team in an attempt to free Nauman from custody.
During the firing, Nauman sustained bullet injuries, while the police personnel remained unharmed due to bulletproof jackets and other protective measures, police said.
The injured suspect was shifted to a hospital for medical treatment, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Police said Nauman was an accused in the case relating to the suicide of student Laiba Ejaz, registered within the jurisdiction of Ramna Police Station.
Search operations were underway to trace and arrest the four suspects who allegedly attacked the police team.
