According to police sources, Irshad and Sonu were neighbours in the Naroda Muslim locality and had reportedly been in a relationship for a long time.

Following the brutal attack, Irshad fled the scene and went to his friend’s house in a four-storey residential complex in Ramol. His friend was occupied with shifting household items, and while he stepped out to prepare tea, Irshad allegedly ended his life.
