Victim was a former cop and worked with former IGP Bani Amin KhanISLAMABAD: In arguably the first murder of the new year, a former cop was gunned down near the Sabzi Mandi in the capital on Saturday morning. He had joined the capital police but soon left it and was currently working with the former inspector general of the Islamabad Police Bani Amin Khan, managing a fuel station which Bani’s family ran near Chungi 26. When they passed the crime scene near the Sabzi Mandi, they stopped to check out of curiosity and were shocked to discover that Siddique was the victim. Bani Amin said it was very likely that the person sitting next to Siddique in the passenger seat killed him. Last year, a total of 89 murders were registered by the capital police, down from over 90 in 2016.
