According to the details of the incident provided, the victim, identified as Abdul Rahman, argued with the bus conductor, Umar Khan, over the fare of the minibus when the vehicle was standing near the Bahadurabad roundabout.

“The brawl in Bahadurabad left Abdul Rahman unconscious and conductor Umar Khan injured. The driver panicked and asked other passengers to get out of the vehicle so he could take him to hospital. The driver brought the two injured to Metroville to shift them in a charity organisation’s ambulance,” the SHO added.

The driver was nervous and he used the charity’s ambulance so that no one could suspect him of being involved in the fight.

However, the charity workers informed the area police about the incident and as a result, Nawaz was detained by the police while Khan was also arrested after he was treated for his injuries.
