A Pakistani man has allegedly shot the administrator of a community WhatsApp group after he was removed from the chat.
News360 Info understands that the victim, 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 police documents seen by AFP and a local police official, the suspect identified as Ashfaq has been charged with murder.
Mushtaq allegedly kicked Ashfaq out of the WhatsApp group following an argument, according to a statement by Mushtaq’s brother.
He said 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,” the brother said.
