Journalists and analysts from all over the world, including Canyon Media, raised big questions about Arshad Sharif’s murder. Canyon Media said that if the car was suspicious, why wasn’t the bullet fired at the tire of the car instead of at the head?
Canyon Media questioned that there was no firing on the police from Arshad Sharif’s car. Then why did the police decide to shoot directly? The bullets fired at the vehicle indicate that Arshad Sharif was the target.
