CCTV footage captures murder of bride in Gujranwala on day of her wedding reception

GUJRANWALA: A bride was shot dead on the day of her wedding reception in Gulshan Colony, Gujranwala.

The footage shows two suspects on a motorcycle waiting along the road. When the bride’s car arrives, they approach the vehicle and bring it to a stop.

One of the suspects, identified as Sarfraz, is seen opening the car door, prompting a woman to run away in an attempt to save herself. The suspect then opens fire on the bride, who remains inside the vehicle, killing her.

The driver also exits the car and lies on the ground to protect himself during the shooting.

After the attack, the suspects flee the scene while firing shots. Their faces are reportedly clearly visible in the CCTV footage.

Meanwhile, the Punjab Crime Control Department (CCD) has intensified efforts to apprehend the suspects.

The shooting took place in Gulshan Colony on the day of the bride’s wedding reception.

In a separate case, the prime suspect in the death of International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) gold medallist Laiba Ijaz died after unidentified gunmen attacked a police team transporting him for recovery in Islamabad, according to police.

Police said Muhammad Noman was in custody and was being taken to a location for recovery based on information provided by him when four men on two motorcycles opened fire within the jurisdiction of Ramna police station. The attackers reportedly sought to free him from custody.

Noman was injured in the shooting and later succumbed to his wounds. The police personnel remained unharmed due to their bulletproof jackets and precautionary measures. A search operation was subsequently launched to trace the attackers and their accomplices.

Noman was the main accused in the case involving Laiba Ijaz, who died by suicide after allegedly being defrauded of Rs9 million on the promise of being sent to the United States for education.
