“By the time we left, it was around 1 a.m. Sadaab and I were walking towards his house when he received a call and started walking ahead. He was in a lane when I heard his calls for help, followed by two gunshots. By the time I reached the lane, two men were speeding away on a bike and a bleeding Sadaab was lying facedown on the road,” recalled Imran.
A case under Section 307 of the IPC has been registered.
