ISLAMABAD: The British High Commission said on Tuesday it was in contact with local authorities regarding the death of a British boy who was reportedly ‘murdered’ while on holiday in Pakistan with his mother, adding that the mission was providing consular services to the family.
Adil Khan, 14, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, was reportedly shot dead while traveling with his mother to visit relatives in Pakistan.
“We are in contact with the local authorities in Pakistan following the death of a British child and are providing consular support to his family,” a media representative at the British High Commission told Arab News via email.
British media reported over the weekend that though the exact nature of Khan’s death had not yet been confirmed, police were said to have made two arrests.
“The 14-year-old, from the predominantly Asian Manningham area of Bradford, was previously at the center of a missing persons inquiry in Pakistan in 2019 but was found safe and well,” the Daily Mail reported.
