The victim, who was allegedly murdered last evening, has been identified as Maajid, son of Jabbar, they said.
"The youth reportedly had an affair with the 18-year-old girl. He had eloped with her three months back following which her family members registered a case against him and five others," a police spokesperson said.
"The girl was later recovered and the youth was arrested and sent to jail," he said.
It's alleged that Maajid was shot dead late in the evening and his body thrown on the road, the spokesperson said.
The body of the victim has been handed over to his relatives after a post-mortem was conducted, he said.
He said the victim's kins have filed a police complaint naming four members of the girl's family.
Investigation in the matter is underway, the spokesperson said.
