Islamabad: An Ahmadi doctor was shot dead by a man in Pakistan's  Gujrat district on Sunday.

The attacker reportedly killed himself later.

Rasheed, 70, was a dual Norwegian-Pakistani national and practiced homeopathy at a small clinic he had set up in his home in Goteriala village, 50km north of Gujrat city.

An FIR registered on the complaint of Rasheed’s nephew Zarar said that Rasheed was examining some patients at his clinic at around 3:30pm when a gunshot was heard, reports Aaj News.

Zarar said he saw two men flee the clinic. He learned their names later, Babar and Inaam.

Zarar found his uncle lying in a pool of blood; he died before being taken to a hospital.

Later, the body of one of the attackers, who was named in the FIR, was recovered from a field located close to the village.

He was identified as Inaam.

Police officials told Aaj News that initial reports suggested Inaam murdered Rasheed and then killed himself.

Police have arrested the other attacker.

A spokesperson of Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya said the murder was religiously motivated.
