  • Mid-Afternoon Anees Shahzad was photographed at the protest near D-Chowk, Islamabad, holding a framed portrait of Imran Khan while dressed in a black hoodie, pants, a PTI-colored headscarf or hat, and a face mask. He carried a backpack, suggesting he came prepared for an extended stay at the protest, and appeared unarmed, participating peacefully in the demonstration.

Witnesses, including his father, another relative, and a PTI official, stated that Anees was sitting on a pavement near Blue Area when he was fatally shot in the abdomen by a sniper from a nearby building. This is consistent with the injuries noted in his death certificate.
