Identified Body in Ali Pur Chattha Found to Belong to Notorious Robber

A recent discovery of a body in the Bhooman Baath area of Ali Pur Chattha has revealed the deceased to be a known robber with a criminal record. Police sources indicate that the death likely resulted from a dispute with fellow gang members.

Details of the Incident

Yesterday, a 45-year-old unidentified male body was found in the fields near Bhooman Baath. The Ali Pur Chattha police registered a case on the complaint of Sub-Inspector Shafiq Ahmed. During the postmortem, it was discovered that the man had a unique identifying feature—some fingers on his hand were congenitally missing. This led to the identification of the deceased as Ghulam Murtaza, son of Imam Din, a resident of Mandiala Tegha in Kamoke.

Upon reviewing the police records, it was found that Ghulam Murtaza had nine cases registered against him across various police stations in Punjab, including in Gujranwala People’s Colony, Kamoke Saddar, Ladhewala Warraich, Sheikhupura, Narang Mandi, and Vehari. The charges included theft, robbery, and other serious offenses.

Suspected Cause of Death

According to police sources, initial evidence suggests that Ghulam Murtaza was either killed by fellow robbers over a dispute regarding stolen goods or may have been fatally shot while attempting to defend himself during a robbery. Further investigations are ongoing to confirm the exact circumstances of his death.
