Bride Killed in Firing on Bride and Groom’s Car Heading to Walima in Gujranwala

Gujranwala (Daily Qudrat) — A house of joy turned into mourning in Punjab’s city of Gujranwala, where an armed man opened fire on the car of a bride and groom traveling to their Walima ceremony, as a result of which the newlywed bride was killed on the spot.

According to reports, this tragic and heart-wrenching incident occurred last night near Samanabad Chungi area of Gujranwala when the bride and groom were going to attend their Walima ceremony. Police sources confirmed that the bride, who was critically injured in the firing on the car, succumbed to her injuries. The victim’s marriage had taken place with great fanfare just one day earlier.

Police officials said that CCTV footage of this horrific incident has also surfaced, which has exposed the brutal manner of the suspects. The video clearly shows that the bride and groom were traveling in a white car when the suspect forcibly stopped the vehicle at gunpoint, pulled out another girl sitting in the back seat, and then entered the car and fired a direct shot at the bride.

Police further said that a murder case has been registered against 3 nominated suspects at the relevant police station on the complaint of the victim’s father, in which a friend of the victim has also been nominated. Preliminary investigation revealed that the main suspect wanted to marry the girl by choice, but her family had flatly refused to give the proposal. The suspect is actually the closest relative of the victim’s friend who has been nominated in the case.

Police officials said that immediately after the firing, all the suspects managed to flee from the scene, and teams have been formed to arrest them, with raids being conducted at possible locations. Police officials expressed their determination that the case is being investigated from all angles with the help of CCTV footage and scientific evidence, and the involved suspects will soon be brought to justice.
