Bride shot dead after her walima reception allegedly by jilted suitor in Gujranwala

In Gujranwala city, a bride named Saba Tufail was shot dead during her walima reception on Saturday. The attack allegedly took place at a banquet hall in Shalimar Town on the GT Road. According to police sources, Saba, who was married to Sufian, was returning home from the event in a car when two men on a motorbike stopped the vehicle near Chungi No 10.

One of the suspects, Sarfraz, forcibly entered the car and shot Saba in the chest, critically injuring her. The suspects then fled the scene on the motorcycle. Saba was rushed to Gujranwala Teaching Hospital, where she later died from her bullet wound. Police and the Punjab Forensic Science Agency arrived at the scene, collected evidence, and handed the body over to the deceased's family.

Gujranwala Crime Control Department registered the case against three suspects - Sarfraz, his female cousin Aroob from Wazirabad city, and an unidentified accomplice, under various sections of the Pakistan Penal Code. The initial investigation revealed that Saba and Aroob were friends and colleagues who often visited each other's homes.

Sarfraz had met Saba through Aroob and started liking her, leading him to send a marriage proposal to Saba's parents, which was declined. Since then, Sarfraz had been holding a grudge against Saba and her family.
