Osama was a Hafiz-e-Quran. His father told reporters that robbers had snatched his motorbike at gunpoint this week.

On Monday, he went out to buy a new one with his savings.

Osama did not want to lose the money that was meant to get him another motorbike. He resisted the robbers, who shot him in cold blood.

He was the only son of his parents, according to the father.
