Saleem Qureshi, Asif’s uncle and Huma Qureshi’s father described the incident as follows: “Two men parked a scooter in front of the house.” Asif requested that they set it aside so as not to obstruct the entry. This resulted in a verbal dispute that escalated into a physical brawl. Together, the two of them murdered my nephew.
“Within minutes, the man, along with his brother, came and stabbed Asif with a sharp weapon. I called Javed, my brother-in-law, but by the time he reached, Asif had lost a lot of blood and died,” Shaheen added.
Regarding the event, actor Huma Qureshi has not yet released a statement.
