Tanveer Ahmed, a resident of Dhok Suleman in H-13, worked as a naib qasid at the G-B Council Secretariat, located in the Press Information Department (PID) building near Zero Point.
He allegedly pulled out a pistol and fired on Abdul Razzaq, a section officer. Razzaq sustained a bullet wound to his rib and was taken to a hospital.
Meanwhile, the co-workers overpowered Ahmed and turned him over to the Aabpara police.
Police said Ahmed had applied for the post of a clerk within his office and was angry with Razzaq, who had reportedly favoured another candidate for the job.
Sub-Inspector Mehar Aslam said the police had arrested the suspect and recovered two pistols from him.
He said an FIR would be registered by Wednesday evening.
