ISLAMABAD: A local court in Islamabad has sentenced TikToker Mohammad Niaz, also known as Alyan, to death for theft and murder.
The district and sessions court made this decision after Alyan snatched a car from Khurram Akbar, resulting in the death of the 28-year-old victim. Alyan was found guilty of intentionally murdering Akbar, and the court based its decision on evidence and witness testimonies.
The incident occurred in May 2023 when Alyan killed Akbar while stealing his car on the way from Gujranwala to Islamabad.
Shan Masood Looks Forward To ‘Exciting Challenge’ Of Australian Tour
Meanwhile, newly-appointed Test captain Shan Masood embraces the upcoming challenge and opportunity presented by the upcoming tour to Australia. Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Masood expressed the team’s commitment to delivering positive results for Pakistan.
Highlighting the continuity in strategy, Masood affirmed that the opening pair would remain unchanged. He specifically mentioned the successful partnership of Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique in Tests throughout the year, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a settled opening stand.
With Pakistan gearing up for a three-match series against Australia as part of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship, commencing on December 14, Masood acknowledged the formidable challenge. Pakistan has not secured a Test victory in Australia for 28 years, having faced defeats in their last 14 consecutive Tests on Australian soil.
The appointment of Shan Masood as Test captain follows Babar Azam’s decision to step down from captaincy in all three formats. Masood, who has experienced a rollercoaster journey in and out of the Test side, views this leadership role as a remarkable opportunity. Despite facing challenges in securing a permanent spot in the side, Masood’s resilience has brought him to the helm of the team.
His captaincy debut coincides with Pakistan’s historically challenging away series in Australia. Masood, who has played at No. 3, expressed his eagerness to adapt to the role. This Australian tour will be a significant test for Masood’s leadership, and he aims to lead the team with a fresh perspective and determination.
As the team prepares for the Australian challenge, Masood’s focus on stability, combined with his personal readiness to adapt, signals a positive approach. The tour will not only test the team’s mettle on the field but also mark a crucial chapter in Shan Masood’s leadership journey.
