PESHAWAR: Some important clues have been found about the killing of NADRA officer Fahad Khan.
According to the details, significant progress has been made in the investigation of the NADRA Officer Fahad Khan target killing case, with law enforcement authorities successfully identifying all four primary suspects involved in the attack.
Police sources confirmed that the central perpetrator behind the hit has been tracked down, and investigators have fully traced the suspects’ movement, arrival at the crime scene, and subsequent escape route using forensic evidence and extensive surveillance logs.
According to police details regarding the NADRA Officer Fahad Khan target killing case, the deceased Deputy Assistant Director typically traveled in a bulletproof vehicle accompanied by personal security guards.
However, on the day of the incident, the perpetrators capitalized on the vulnerability created when he unexpectedly arrived at the office alone.
CCTV footage confirmed that four individuals riding on two motorcycles followed him from University Town after conducting thorough reconnaissance of the area prior to executing the hit.
Specialized police teams are currently conducting raids across multiple locations to apprehend the fleeing suspects.
To prevent their escape abroad, authorities have blocked their national identity cards and issued high-alert directives across airport terminals and border crossings.
Initial police investigations indicate that the tragic NADRA Officer Fahad Khan target killing case stems from an ongoing long-standing family feud.
Target Killing Incidents in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Targeted killings in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) remain a persistent security challenge for law enforcement and local administration.
Over recent years, high-profile individuals—including government officials, tribal elders, law enforcement personnel, and community leaders—have frequently been targeted by organized criminal elements and militant networks.
These target killing incidents often involve meticulous planning, extensive surveillance, and rapid execution using light motorcycles to navigate dense urban areas like Peshawar.
While personal enmities and long-standing feuds drive a portion of these crimes, many cases intersect with broader regional instability and insurgent tactics designed to disrupt public administration.
In response, provincial authorities have intensified intelligence-led operations, expanded urban CCTV surveillance networks, and strengthened inter-agency coordination.
