LAHORE – A 15-year-old boy, who died after falling from an airplane on the roof of a house located in Faisal Town, in an attempt to escape to Dubai by hiding in the plane’s wheel panel, has been identified as Qasim, resident of Daroghawala.
The deceased boy’s father, Siddique, identified the boy from the receipt of a cable network bill. The boy was a student at Al-Hadi Foundation School and was missing since January 10. On January 13, Siddique filed an application at Baghbanpura Police Station about his missing son. A police official told that the boy managed to approach the plane with the help of a friend in Civil Aviation Authority.
