ISLAMABAD – Police have arrested the suspect involved in the murder of a 22-year-old student of the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) inside the girls’ hostel.
The incident took place in April this year when the victim Iman, who residing in a private hostel with her friends, was shot dead.
Police said the suspect, who hails from Jhang, entered Feroz Hostel in the capital city when the girls started screaming out of fear. The situation prompted the suspect to order them to stay quiet, however he opened fire when they resisted.

He has previously been charged in rape and motorcycle theft cases. We are pursuing this case based on solid evidence and will soon submit the challan to court to ensure justice for Iman.”
