CHAK JHUMRA:
Saddar Police announced the arrest of a suspect involved in the murder of a transgender person, Muhammad Imran alias Anjli, who was strangled to death with a piece of cloth.
The suspect has been remanded to jail for an identification parade.
Police believe the murder was the result of a dispute over a mobile phone.
During a press conference on Saturday, SP Iqbal Town Abid Hussain Zafar, along with DSP Saddar Tariq Ilyas Kayani and SHO Saddar Ali Ikram Goraya, provided further details on the case.
Zafar stated that on December 25, 2024, Muhammad Imran alias Anjli, a resident of Chak 229 RB, Makkoana, was strangled by unknown assailants.
A case was filed based on a complaint from the victim’s relative, Peeran Ditta.
City Police Officer (CPO) Faisalabad, DIG Kamran Adil, formed a special investigation team headed by DSP Saddar and SHO Saddar to crack the case. After interrogating several suspects, the team arrested Akhtar, son of Mian Khan, from Chak 227 RB.
In his confession, Akhtar admitted to the murder, citing a personal dispute.
Akhtar explained that he had met Imran three years earlier at a wedding, which led to their friendship. A few days before the murder, Akhtar had borrowed Imran’s mobile phone.
On the day of the murder, the two met near Makkoana Chowki Pul after Maghrib prayers. During their walk, an argument over the phone escalated into a physical confrontation, leading to the killing.
