A man in northern Pakistan has been charged with murder in connection to the shooting of a WhatsApp group administrator, as reported by PEOPLE.
Mushtaq Ahmed was shot and killed on the evening of Thursday, March 6, in Peshawar, approximately 116 miles from Islamabad, according to AFP. A man referred to as #Ashfaq in police reports has been charged with murder related to the incident, as reported by local police and the outlet.
Ahmed’s brother informed authorities that the victim and Ashfaq were members of the same WhatsApp group and had an argument, which led to Ahmed removing Ashfaq from the chat. The brother stated that Ashfaq was reportedly upset “in reaction to removal from WhatsApp group.” Despite their earlier conflict, the suspect and victim agreed to meet to make amends.
However, Ashfaq arrived at the meeting with a firearm and fatally shot Ahmed, according to the statement. An investigation is currently underway, as reported by local media outlet The Express Tribune.
