LAHORE—Punjab police claimed to have solved the murder case of crime reporter Hasnain Shah without tracing the assailants directly.
Last week, the journalist was killed in broad daylight outside the Lahore Press Club.
The police presented four handcuffed suspects before the media at a press conference at District Police Lines Qila Gujjar Singh, claiming that the murder resulted from a financial dispute between the journalist and owner of Asia Gold Jewellers.
Capital City Police Chief (CCPO) Fayyaz Ahmad Dev, flanked by senior police officials, informed that Amir Butt, the jewelry store owner, had developed severe differences and exchanged harsh words with Shah over a financial dispute.
According to police officials, Butt was so frustrated after the squabble that he hatched a plan to murder the journalist with the help of his brother Shahid Butt and a friend Farhan Shah.
Interestingly, the main shooters were yet to be identified, but the police contended that they had solved the murder case.
