Man kills friend in Rawalpindi

A man allegedly shot and killed his friend in the jurisdiction of Race Course police station on Thursday.

According to the police, Qaiser Mehmood, a resident of Railway Scheme No. 7, reported that his nephew Tayyab Faisal was at home with other family members when his friend Muhammad Yousuf, a resident of Fauji Colony, called him to meet at Westridge Marquee. Faisal went there and shortly afterwards, the family was informed that Faisal had been shot and was at the District Headquarters Hospital (DHQ). Faisal had already died by the time the family reached the hospital.
