“A few boys playing with Nawaz claimed that others beat him up. However the rest claimed that he collapsed to the ground while playing,”
Suspicious over the death of his child, Riaz decided to file a complaint to investigate the cause.
“I saw a few marks injury marks on his face which could be due to falling on the ground or injury from a fight. That is when I grew more suspicious and concerned. When the police offered to file a complaint. I agreed,” said Riaz.
