Both Rana, who was driving the motorcycle, and Shuaib sustained severe injuries in the crash. Rana later succumbed to his injuries. According to the PGO, the collision occurred when Haleem turned onto the road without signalling, striking the motorcycle as it attempted to overtake the car. Tragically, after the initial impact, Haleem’s car ran over Rana and Shuaib before reversing with their bodies still trapped underneath.

The PGO yesterday confirmed that Mausoom Haleem faces three charges: reckless homicide in connection with Rana’s death, causing grievous bodily harm for the injuries to Shuaib, and damage to private property for hitting another vehicle parked nearby during the incident.
