LAHORE: The Ichhra police have lodged an FIR against two underworld dons of Lahore, Teefi Butt and Gogi Butt, along with the wife of Ahsan Shah, a suspect recently killed during a police encounter with some armed men, for hatching a plot for the murder of an Organized Crime Unit (OCU) police official.

Ahsan Shah was in the police custody for allegedly leaking information to the shooters who had killed Ameer Balaj Tepu, a goods transport business owner, in a wedding in the Chung area some months back.

According to the new FIR logged by ICU Sub-Inspector (SI) Shakeel Butt, Shah made a call from jail to his wife wherein he had unveiled a plan to murder the police official.

As per the FIR, Shah told his wife that he would soon be released from jail and hire three shooters to kill SI Butt to avenge his arrest in Balaj murder case.

Butt alleged that Teefi Butt, Gogi Butt, Ahsan Shah and other suspects were behind the gruesome murder of Balaj.

He apprehended in the FIR that as he had arrested Shah, the underworld dons wanted to kill him and his wife.
