Renowned Businessman Shot Dead While Chasing His Stolen SUV

Rehan Ashraf, the owner of GMSA company, was fatally shot while attempting to retrieve his stolen Toyota Cygnus SUV in Faisalabad on October 17. The vehicle had been stolen from the valet parking area at Chenab Club. Rehan, along with his brother Muhammad Hassan Ashraf and some friends, arrived at the club around 9 pm in a white Toyota Cygnus registered in Islamabad.

They handed the vehicle and its keys to a valet parking attendant before heading to the restaurant for dinner. Upon realizing the car was missing, they tracked its location via a tracking device and followed it to Jaranwala Road near Bijli Ghar stop, where the SUV was found stuck in slow-moving traffic due to Metro project construction work.

Rehan stepped out of the vehicle and confronted the driver, asking why he was taking his car. Two unidentified men emerged and fired a pistol at Rehan, hitting him in the neck. He collapsed, and the suspects fled on motorcycles. Rehan was taken to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries. Faisalabad Police registered a murder and robbery case under Sections 392 and 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code, naming the two suspects as unidentified men. The police are actively seeking to arrest the suspects.
