During the investigation, the suspects revealed that they had entered Abdul Salam\’s house on the night of October 25 with the intention of stealing. However, when the victim woke up, the suspects shot him dead. The police have stated that further investigation was being carried out.
Armed persons barged into the house of Abdul Salam, son of Gulab Khan, at Chitral Colony Peshawar and were stealing solar panels and other items when he challenged them. As a result, the armed men shot him dead and escaped.
Salam was father of three children and worked at Peshawar Saddar, his relatives said. They said despite being informed about the murder police failed to turn up at the site to launch an investigation and arrest the culprits. However, residents of the colony later held a protest demonstration and blocked roads prompting the authorities to launch an investigation that led to the arrest of the suspects.
