According to the report of a foreign news agency, the Kenyan police say that senior journalist and anchor person Arshad Sharif was the target of police firing due to a mistake in his identity.

According to The Star newspaper, the local authorities have confirmed the death of Pakistan’s senior journalist and anchor person Arshad Sharif due to police firing, claiming that the firing on Arshad Sharif was due to mistaken identity.

The Kenyan police are of the opinion that before Arshad Sharif’s arrival on the Nairobi-Magadi highway, there was an incident of hijacking the car and taking the child hostage. Vehicles were being checked to catch the accused. Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif and his driver were signaled by the police to stop, but they tried to go ahead by violating the barrier.

According to the claim of the Kenyan police, the police opened fire when Arshad Sharif did not stop, as a result of which Arshad Sharif died and his driver was injured, who was shifted to the hospital.

It should be noted that Arshad Sharif and his driver were fired on by the police in Nairobi on Sunday night as a result of which Arshad Sharif died due to a bullet wound to the head.
