Just last week, the stirring controversial death of a cab driver in Islamabad created an outrage on the roads of the city. The homicide took place in the federal capital of the city when a Careem cab captain was found dead at Street 79, Sector G-13/1.
26-year-old Junaid Mustafa was driving Careem for three months. He took a ride at 2:35 am from F11 Markaz in Islamabad. The ride ended at 2:58 am when the murderer shot Junaid multiple times, threw away his body and ran away with Junaid’s WagonR and his 2 mobile phones. The murderer, however, has now been captured by the authorities.
While this news was indeed extremely shocking, another similar story was seen floating on the social media.
