Lahore: A retired superintendent of police (SP) was shot dead on Saturday by unidentified people outside his Millat Park house in Pakistan, media reports said.

A CCTV camera footage surfacing on social media showed that the retired SP Farhat Abbas, 62, was about to leave for his native Baharwal village, Pattoki in a car parked outside his house in Millat Park on Multan Road, when a young man armed with a pistol approached him, Dawn News reported.

The masked youth repeatedly shot at and injured Abbas, who fell onto the ground, the Pakistani newspaper reported.

The attackers then fled the scene.

The injured person was taken to hospital where he was pronounced death.

Millat Park police shifted the body to the morgue for an autopsy and registered a murder case against unidentified killer on the complaint of the victim’s nephew Salman Tahir.

Tahir told Dawn that his uncle Abbas was going to their native town to attend a punchayat and was standing outside his house when he was shot.

“I was in the porch of the house and rushed to the spot after hearing gunshots and found my uncle lying in a pool of blood,” he said.

“We rushed him to hospital where the doctors declared him dead,” he added.
