By the grace of God, security agencies managed to apprehend the mentioned perpetrator, and upon investigation, he was charged with committing the crime. Upon his referral to the competent court, a verdict was issued finding him guilty of premeditated murder through deceit, considering the act involved trickery and deceit in a manner that reassured the victim of his safety. Given that the act constitutes an extremely heinous crime and poses a significant threat to people’s lives, honor, and properties, he was sentenced to death by decapitation for murder through treachery.

The Ministry also warns anyone contemplating such actions that they will face legal punishment.. And God guides us to the right path."
