Cop killed over payment dispute

ISLAMABAD: Two men on Sunday killed a police constable in Muslim Town Sadiqabad police station limits, police said.

Sanaullaha Satti and his brother went to Sadaqat’s workshop to get his car repaired. Later, they argued with Sadaqat who was demanding payment repairs. The constable allegedly threatened Sadaqat to implicate him in a narcotics case if he demanded payment, according to one eyewitness. The argument led to Sadaqat and his accomplice, Qasim Khan, opening fire on the constable and his brother. Sannaullaha died on the spot while his brother had a narrow escape. The area police arrested Qasim Khan while Sadaqat is still at large. Police have shifted the dead body to the hospital for an autopsy and registered a case against the accused. staff report
