A few hours after Sabri’s murder, gunmen fired at the car of the Sufi Qawwal’s friend, Farhan Ali Waris, a well-known religious personality from the Shia Muslim community, in the Teen Hati area near Liaquatabad.

Waris, known for his rendition of Nohas on television channels, said he had just got off at his home when the car came under attack by the gunmen on a motorcycle. “They probably thought I was in the car but fortunately I had got off at my home. My security guard got suspicious when the gunmen approached the car and he opened fire on them and they ran away,” the Shia Muslim scholar said.
