ABBOTTABAD: The Interpol arrested from Sharjah the prime suspect in the murder of medical student Asma Rani.
Asma, a third-year medical student in Abbottabad, was in her hometown of Kohat on vacation when, on January 27, Mujahid Afridi allegedly opened fire on her for refusing his marriage proposal.
