GUJRAT: Jhelum police claim to have solved the case of murder of a rickshaw driver, saying his wife allegedly got him killed by her lover and another man, who have been arrested. A spokesman for Jhelum police said the driver, Waseem Khokhar, was shot dead in his rickshaw by two unidentified motorcyclists on old railway bridge over the river Jhelum. The victim was returning home from Sara-i-Alamgir after dropping a relative there, when he was murdered around three months ago. Jhelum city police had registered a case against unidentified killers after the victim’s family said they did not have any enmity.
The deceased rickshaw driver was survived by four children and his widow. Jhelum district police officer (DPO) had tasked the city circle police with tracing and arresting the killers. City Station House Officer Sub-Inspector Raja Imran, during investigation, interrogated the victim’s wife Memoona, who later confessed to have killed her own husband allegedly through her lover, Babar Shah, a motorbike mechanic, living in the same neighbourhood. Police said Shah and Memoona planned to eliminate Khokar after he came to know about their relationship. Later, Shah and his accomplice shot Khokar dead and fled the scene. Police have arrested all the three suspects and recovered the pistol and motorbike used in the crime from them.
