MUZAFFARGARH: Police have solved a blind murder case in two weeks, arresting six suspects, including the ex-wife of the deceased.

Two weeks ago, an unidentified body was found in the bushes at Nalka Adda.

The deceased was later identified as Arshad Araen, of Khandan village, Tehsil Karor Pakka, district Lodhran.

According to AIipur SDPO Chudhry Fayyazul Haq, the police registered a case and launched an investigation.

Through mobile data analysis, police traced the suspects, leading to the arrest of three suspects from Jalalpur tehsil.

The alleged mastermind, Abid Ali, was found in possession of the murder weapon—a pistol—along with the car used in the crime and a fake number plate.

SDPO Haq said that Arayan was attempting to reconnect with his ex-wife, who had since developed a relationship with Abid Ali.

To prevent the reunion, Ali allegedly detained Arayan for two days before killing him.

Six suspects, including the ex-wife of the deceased, are in custody as the investigation continues.
