LAHORE: Gunmen on Wednesday shot dead a professor of Government College University (GCU) in an attack near Kalma Chowk.
According to police, unknown motorcyclists intercepted Prof. Tanzeem Cheema's car near Kalma Chowk and opened fire.
The police said the deceased received three bullets in his legs and one in the chest.
Police suspect that the incident seems to be result of personal enmity as evidence suggest the assailant talked to the slain before pulling the trigger.
The body was shifted to hospital for medico-legal formalities.
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has sought a report from CCPO Lahore and ordered the police to arrest the attackers.
