KARACHI: Police announced on Wednesday the completion of an investigation into a peculiar and tragic incident, wherein a young man reportedly shot his close friend for eating a zinger burger that the accused had ordered for his ‘girlfriend’.
According to the report, the victim was identified as Ali Kerio, 17, son of Javed Kerio, a sessions judge in Karachi District South, while the accused shooter, Daniyal Nazeer Mir Bahar, is the son of Nazir Ahmed Mir Bahar, a retired Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP).
The investigation findings suggest that on February 8, Daniyal invited his girlfriend, Shazia, to his residence in Karachi’s Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Phase V, where his friend Ali Kerio and his brother Ahmar Kerio were also present.
Reportedly, the accused had ordered two zinger burgers for himself and Shazia, but Ali allegedly consumed half of one burger, which angered Daniyal to the extent that he took his security guard’s assault rifle and shot Ali, who later died from gunshot wounds while being transported to the hospital.
The investigating officer has concluded the inquiry and submitted the report to higher authorities, implicating the police officer’s son in the crime. Daniyal, the accused, is presently in custody as legal proceedings continue.
