The gory incident occurred when the imam Iftikhar Ahmad and his associate were sleeping in the ‘hamam’ of a mosque at Iqbalabad, Bemina after ‘fajr’ prayers.
Police recovered a sharp-edged weapon and some blade packets from the crime scene.
Iftikhar, the imam, hails from border area of Gurez in North Kashmir and had moved to Iqbalabad’s Noor Masjid around three months ago.
