Lahore: The son of  PTI founding member and owner of a private hospital Dr Shahid Siddique confessed to planning his father’s murder, police claimed on Monday.

Dr Siddique, the owner of Iqra Medical Complex in Johar Town, was standing outside Khizra Mosque in Valencia Town after offering Friday prayers last week when an unknown man approached him and opened fire. The doctor later succumbed to his wounds.

Police registered a case against four unidentified attackers and began an investigation. The statements from the family members, CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts were recorded. 

The suspect confessed to hiring some hitmen to kill his father. The suspect told the police that his father was not allowing him to marry a girl, adding that he had also attempted to kill Dr Siddique six months ago.
