Quoting initial investigations, Model Town Division Operations SP Tariq Aziz told Dawn Nauman Ashraf left his house around 10:30am on Saturday telling his family he was going to some place near Kamahan village to see a friend.
He contacted his family last time by phone at 2:30pm and was later found dead at around 4:30pm in his car with a bullet wound in his head. Police found his cell phone and Rs12,000 cash in the victim's pocket which indicated that he was not killed during a robbery bid, the SP said.
Quoting the family, the SP said Nauman and his friend Waris were running a property business and the meeting was in that connection.
Nauman's uncle Munawar, in his application to Nishtar Colony police, has nominated Waris, his brother Khursheed and some unknown men.
The SP said the police had jugged
Please don't kill me!
the two nominated suspects, besides Khursheed's father Rasheed Ahmad and his brother Muneeb.
The body was sent to the city morgue for an appointment with Dr. Quincy and further investigations would be conducted on the basis of the autopsy report, Mr Aziz said.

has condemned the murder of 27-year-old Nauman Ashraf, son of PTI Lahore Women Wing President Neelum Ashraf, as well as killing of party ticket holder from PP-176 (Kasur) Masood Ahmed Bhatti.

Ejaz Chaudhry demanded that an immediate investigation be launched to apprehend the killers.
