Meanwhile, details have emerged about the orphanage where Waseem had been living. According to available records, 122 children are currently being cared for at the unregistered orphanage in Multan.
Waseem’s family members, who belong to Muzaffargarh, said that his brother, cousin and younger sister had also been living at the orphanage. They added that Waseem’s sister had stayed there for a few months.
Following Waseem’s death, his younger brother and cousin were brought back home by their family, relatives said.
The incident took place on Monday when the 15-year-old boy was allegedly run over and killed by influential suspects in Multan. The suspects reportedly attempted to portray the incident as an accident.
However, CCTV footage captured from multiple cameras and different angles reportedly contradicted their claim. The recordings indicated that the incident was not a routine road accident but an alleged deliberate and brutal act.
The case has drawn attention to the circumstances surrounding the teenager’s death and the need for a transparent investigation. The formation of a dedicated prosecution team is expected to help ensure that the evidence is examined thoroughly and the case is pursued in accordance with the law.
