On Saturday morning, members of a Dolphin team were suspended after a citizen was murdered and seriously injured in Lahore, Daily Times reported.

DIG Operations Dr Muhammad Abid Khan suspended the Dolphin after conducting a preliminary inquiry into the shooting incident.

An Operations Wing spokesman said Constable Faisal, Khalid Moazzam and Adil have been suspended. A case of attempted murder under sections 324 and 55c has been registered and Constable Faisal has been put behind the bars.

DIG Abid Khan said justice and merit will be followed while taking action against the Dolphin team.
