Meanwhile, the deceased's brother, Salman, said that on Friday night at 8:30 PM, Faizan had gone to his friend's cafe, where he was shot three times; one bullet hit him in the head, while two bullets hit him in the chest. According to Salman, Faizan was murdered due to a dispute over money. The accused had borrowed approximately 30,000 rupees from Faizan and was not returning it, which led to the dispute between them. The accused had also attacked Faizan before, and a complaint had been filed at the Bhajanpura police station regarding that incident.
