GUJRAT: The young boy Ahmed Chughtai, who was run over by an Elite Force vehicle, which was part of Nawaz Sharif’s convoy in Lalamusa, was laid to rest today (Saturday).

District Police Officer (DPO) Gujrat Sohail Chattha said the police have been able to trace the car responsible for the child’s death by viewing video recordings.

“The affected family will be served justice,” DPO Chattha said.

Minister of State for Ports and Shipping Chaudhry Jaffar Iqbal, as well as other ministers, attended the funeral prayers for the child, held early Saturday.

Moreover, PTI and PPP leaders also attended the funeral prayers.

The funeral prayer was offered in Lalamusa’s area Bihari Colony which was attended by a large number of people.

Chughtai, a student of grade 6, was standing on the lane-divider to watch Nawaz’s convoy pass by when he was reportedly pushed towards the road moments before the Elite Force vehicle passed.

“Nawaz Sharif killed my child,” said the grieving mother of the boy.

The boy’s father suffered a heart attack after hearing news of his child’s death. The father was admitted in an ICU of a local hospital.

The child’s uncle claimed that Chugtai was lying on the ground suffering and nobody stopped to help him.
