Guard’s Statement
An Instagram user shared a video of the security guard’s statement, shedding light on the guard’s perspective. According to the guard, he grew increasingly agitated as Saad repeatedly brought the camera and microphone near his face. In a moment of frustration, he pulled the trigger, resulting in a devastating loss of life.
Meanwhile, on the cricket field, India snatched an embarrassing six-run victory from Pakistan in the match held in New York. Put to bat, India struggled, posting their lowest total against Pakistan in T20Is (119 runs). Rishabh Pant’s valiant effort (42 runs) wasn’t enough, as Pakistan’s bowlers, including Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf, wreaked havoc. Pakistan now faces a must-win situation to keep their T20 World Cup Super 8 hopes alive.
Emotions can run high during cricket matches, especially when it comes to archrivals India and Pakistan. However, this tragic incident serves as a stark reminder that violence should never be the answer, even in the heat of sporting rivalries.
