A young boy named Usama was kidnapped and tortured to death in Faisalabad on Wednesday, after being accused of stealing cricket bats from a local cricket club. The tragedy unfolded on Cinema Road, sending shockwaves through the community.
Usama’s mother, Rukhsana Shafiq, a resident of Gulberg Colony, filed a complaint with the local police. In her FIR, she accused Shahan, a cricket player at the indoor cricket club on Cinema Road, along with ten others, of abducting her son. According to her, the suspects took Usama to the club, where he and his friend, Samraiz Khalid, were brutally tortured. The two boys were accused of stealing bats from the facility.
When Usama’s condition worsened, the suspects rushed him to Allied Hospital, but sadly, it was too late. The doctors pronounced Usama dead upon arrival. His friend Samraiz remains in critical condition and is receiving treatment at the hospital.
The police have arrested Shahan and are conducting raids to apprehend his accomplices. An investigation into this horrific act of violence is ongoing, as the community mourns the senseless loss of a young life.
