A 15-years-old boy named Sharjeel has been arrested in Okara for inviting people to a ‘khatam’ and aerial firing for the death anniversary of slain Indian rapper Siddhu Moosewalla.
Okara Police reached the boy through the address he provided on a social media poster.
Police reached the address and then arrested Sharjeel for the invitation to aerial firing.
Sindhu Moosewala, the Indian rapper who was shot dead last year on May 29, has a strong fan following in Pakistan.
The teenager was released hours after arrest, as his young age came under consideration. He has been given a warning to practice caution in the future.
Later, Sharjeel said he had posted the invitation only with the intention of creating mischief, stressing that he did not actually intend to go ahead with the event.
He has tendered an apology.
