In a tragic incident in Lahore, a female police constable named Saman was shot dead by her fellow constable, Farooq, in the Harbanspura area. The shocking revelation that the perpetrator was also a member of the Lahore police has sent shockwaves through the city.

According to initial reports, both Saman and Farooq arrived at the scene on the same motorcycle. The two reportedly had an argument before Farooq led Saman to a nearby park. Eyewitnesses said that Farooq initially fired warning shots into the air to disperse bystanders who had attempted to intervene, before shooting Saman multiple times. The police confirmed that Saman died on the spot, and Farooq fled the scene immediately after.
