The body was shifted to a hospital for post-mortem.
The incident occurred around 5:30am near Chak 137 GB Bypass, within the jurisdiction of City Police Station Samundari.

A heavy police contingent, including SHO City Samundari, Inspector Mohsin Muneer, arrived at the scene, and a gunfight ensued.
During the exchange of fire, 55-year-old Baba Ashfaq was killed.
