Teen killed for playing cricket
2007-09-19
LAHORE: A teenager was shot dead by a security guard on Tuesday for playing cricket when the security guard had told him against it.
A security guard told the boys to stop playing there, but they ignored him. Sabir got angry, brought his gun and shot Ali.
South Cantonment police said that Mehmood Ali (18), son of Muhammad Eisa, was playing cricket with his friends at Eden Housing Society near New Airport. Sabir Hussain, a security guard at the society, told the boys to stop playing there, but they ignored him. Sabir got angry, brought his gun and shot at Ali, injuring him. Sabir fled the scene while Ali was taken to Farooq Hospital where he died. Police took the body to the city morgue and registered a case against the security guard.

#6  Police took the body to the city morgue and registered a case against the security guard.

At least the guard is being charged but how harsh will that sentence be?

#5  If any of you have watched a cricket match, you will understand why killing a cricket player is justifiable homicide.

Face it, there's some of us who desperately need an alternative to watching paint dry.

#4  I'd consider a fan being killed a mercy killing...

#2  Well, some imam somewhere or other has said that soccer is un-Islamic, so the security guard was just defending his religion. (In some people's minds anyway.)
