According to the police report, a case was filed by Anwar Khan, a resident of Panjitan Town on Juranwala Road in which he stated that his 20-year-old son, Ejaz Khan, had been living with his brother Babar Khan in a house at 228 RB in Panjitan Town. He told the police that he found the body of his son Ejaz Khan hanging from a ceiling fan of his house at 12pm on March 27.
The complainant alleged that unidentified accused had strangled his son and then hung his body from a ceiling fan to give the impression of Ijaz having committed suicide.
