The accused have been identified as Shoaib 19, Afridi 18 and Mohsin 22, residents of Brahamanwala, Patelnagar.
The accused are learnt to have admitted their offence while being grilled. As per police sources, Shoaib revealed that he had taken Rs 8, 000 on loan from Azaz. But he failed to repay Azaz with the latter pressuring him. According to Shaoib, Azaz had abused him when he was sitting with his friends. Angered, Shaoib hatched a conspiracy to do away with Azaz. He roped in his friends Afridi and Mohsin in the murderous plan. They took Azaz to a desolate forest area. He was coaxed into drinking heavily following which he was stoned to death. Earlier, Azaz’s relative had registered a complaint at Nehru Colony police station and a case under sections 302/201 of IPC had been registered against some unidentified persons in the same police station.
