LAHORE: Tanzeem Akbar, a Government College (GC) University professor, was shot dead on Tuesday by unknown assailants.
Tanzeem was shot dead in the provincial capital’s Gulberg area. Initial reports claimed that the professor had been shot by robbers after the slain resisted. Akbar was rushed to a nearby hospital where he breathed his last.
Police authorities, however, suggest that Tanzeem’s murder might be a result of an ongoing family feud and that the authorities will investigate the case on all ends. CCTV footage revealed that the slain conversed with the assailants for some time before they opened fire at him.
CM Punjab Shahbaz Sharif also took notice of the case and ordered Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) to present a report on the matter.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPA Nosheen Hamid presented a call attention notice in Punjab Assembly concerning the case earlier today.
The notice demanded provision of all necessary information regarding the case to PA. It also questioned if a First Information Report (FIR) has been registered against the suspects.
