According to police, Mehsud, who was riding a motorcycle with his friend Yasir, were signaled to stop. When they didn’t, Tauheed fired the shots which killed Mehsud and injured Yasir.

The victim’s uncle said that Tauheed and his friend tried to snatch the motorcycle and opened fire when his nephew resisted.
