The FIR was lodged based on the statement of Mohammad Zahid, the uncle of the victim Ibrahim, 25.

Sub-inspector Jagdeep Singh, station house officer (SHO) at Meharban police station, said they have questioned his co-workers and roommates, who told them that Ibrahim had no enemies. Police said they also scanned footage from CCTV cameras installed in the area, but are yet to get a clue regarding the assailants.

Sub-inspector Jagdeep Singh, station house officer (SHO) at Meharban police station, said a case has been registered under Section 302 (murder) and 34 (common intention) of Indian Penal Code has been lodged against unidentified accused.
