The biker then phoned his brother, who intercepted the vehicle a little further up inside the housing society. The boys, who were armed, opened fire, shooting Jazlan in the head and Shah Mir in the arm.
The suspects fled the scene after realizing that they had committed a murder.

The two injured boys were rushed to a hospital inside BTK from where they were shifted to Aga Khan Hospital. Jazlan succumbed to his injuries while Shah Mir was under treatment.

The police launched an investigation after registering an FIR against the suspects and detained the main suspect’s father. The issue has also gathered a lot of traction on social media, with #JusticeForJazlan trending on Pakistani Twitter.

During today’s hearing, the suspect’s lawyer said that he was a minor and he shouldn’t be remanded to the police.

The court rejected the plea of ​​the accused’s lawyer and remanded the two accused to the police till June 2.

Two other accused are still at large, police added.
