The police has confirmed the arrest of Pakistani man on Saturday who was charged with murder after allegedly shooting the administrator of a Watshapp group who removed him from the group chat.
The man named Mushtaq Ahmed was shot dead on Thursday evening in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a province that borders Afghanistan, which has a history of bloody sectarian violence.
According to a report from local police official, a man named only as Ashfaq has been charged with his murder.
Mushtaq allegedly kicked Ashfaq out of the WhatsApp group following an argument, according to a statement by Mushtaq’s brother seen by AFP.
He stated that both parties had arranged to meet and reconcile but alleges that Ashfaq turned up with a gun and opened fire, killing his brother.
Ashfaq was angry “in reaction to removal from WhatsApp group,” according to his statement.
