Unidentified armed men gunned down a former policeman on Sunday and fled the scene after committing the crime.
The incident took place in P-Block, Sabzazar when two armed motorcyclists ambushed the former cop, Malik Liaquat, while he was on his way home. As a result of the firing, the ex-cop died on the spot while the assailants sped away after committing the murder.
Police fear that the deceased was in a dispute with a group over ownership of a commercial plaza, and think that the shooting incident could be an outcome of the same issue.
The body was shifted to the morgue and the police, after registering a case into the incident, have started their search for the assailants.
