Kohat murder case
Kohat, August 28, 2025, 10:58 AM PKT – Accused in Kohat Murder Case Faces Court, Investigation Deepens
The prime suspect, Omar, arrested for the murder of Syed Muhammad and attempted murder of Zeeshan in Kohat’s Main Bazaar, was presented before a local court on August 28, 2025. The court remanded him for seven days as the City Police Station intensifies its investigation into the August 7 incident.
District Police Officer Dr. Zahidullah told NEN, “We’re uncovering the full motive behind this tragic incident.” The police recovered the murder weapon using modern technical means, revealing a dispute over a TikTok video as the trigger for Omar’s indiscriminate firing (web:0). Zeeshan, now stable, provided a statement corroborating the social media conflict (web:0).
The investigation now focuses on potential accomplices and Omar’s digital footprint, with forensic analysis underway.
Community leaders have called for stricter social media regulations to prevent such disputes.
“Justice will be served,” said SHO Fayyaz Khan.
