According to an FIR, victim Shabi was killed by Naeem, who invited him over to his house on the eve of the festival. The accused served him poison-laden Sheer after which Shabi complained of uneasiness.
Naeem then dropped the victim nearby home and fled from the spot. Shabi was admitted to a hospital by his family members where he died, police said.
Initial investigations reveal that Naeem and Shabi were in 'love' with a girl, which must have driven Shabi to commit the crime out of 'jealousy', police said, adding the role of the girl is also being probed.
