While there, unidentified gunmen suddenly opened fire on the police team. In the exchange that followed, the suspect was seriously wounded and died en route to the hospital. His body was later transported to THQ Hospital in Gujar Khan. Authorities have since launched a manhunt to locate and arrest those responsible for the attack on the police.
The young girl’s body had earlier been found in an unfinished house located in a small housing scheme between Sunday and Monday night. Her father filed a complaint, leading to the registration of a formal case.
Investigations remain active, with law enforcement vowing to ensure that all individuals involved in the crime face justice.
