The three police officials were martyred in firing by Rehan Butt and his accomplices. Rehan Butt had also been making threatening phone calls to Sub-Inspector Adeel Ashiq, while a case had also been registered against Rehan Butt on the complaint of Sub-Inspector Adeel Ashiq. Accused Faizan Butt, a shooter, was killed in an encounter with the CTD in 2024, after which his brother Rehan Butt harboured a grudge against the police. Rehan Butt held a grudge because Sub-Inspector Adeel Ashiq had killed his brother in a police encounter. The mortal remains of the martyrs were dispatched under full police protocol to their native areas for burial.
