Last Sunday, the Kenyan police shot and murdered Sharif, a well-known TV host and investigative journalist, in a “mistaken identity” incident close to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.
He was buried earlier today at Islamabad’s H-11 graveyard. After the journalist’s funeral prayers were said in Islamabad’s Faisal Mosque under heavy security, he was laid to rest.
Numerous individuals, including members of the journalism fraternity, came to the funeral prayer for Sharif.
