The police arrested former minister Ibrar Hussain alias Iqbal and four others accused of killing a woman dancer after a local court canceled their transit bails.
Investigation officer Arshad Khan said they booked seven people, including a woman, for the dancer’s murder and five of them have been taken into custody after the cancellation of their transit bails by additional and sessions judge Wajid Ali Khan.
The court ordered the arrest of the accused, including Ibrar Hussain, Raheel Tanoli, Mian Amir, Gulfaraz, and Mohammad Sajid, after hearing their counsel and public prosecutor Samira Algawi Swati.
The former minister had allegedly killed dancer Kiran for stopping him from groping her during the performance and disposed of the body with the help of the accused, including Raheel Tanoli and Mian Amir.
Her family, which belongs to Azad Jammu and Kashmir, denied she was a dancer.
The accused were booked under sections 302, 201, 202, 203, 148, and 149 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).
