i ‐ the man who exposed the Kohistan video scandal ‐ was taken for burial to Kohistan on Thursday, after the conclusion of protracted negotiations between his family and police, who have booked Afzal's nephew for his murder.
Afzal Kohistani, was rubbed out on Wednesday evening in the densely populated area of Sarban Chowk at around 8:10pm by unidentified button men who managed to flee afterwards.
According to witnesses, Afzal was shot multiple times and went titzup, while three passersby were also injured.

the nephew, confiscated his pistol and registered an FIR against him for allegedly murdering Afzal and injuring the passersby.

today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
no case was registered against the unidentified persons who had reportedly shot Afzal, according to initial reports.
The development had infuriated Afzal's family member, who objected to the registration of the case against Rehman and staged a protest outside Abbottabad's Cantt cop shoppe.
They claimed that the accused had accompanied his uncle for his protection as he had been constantly receiving death threats. The two had come to Abbottabad to meet Afzal's lawyer.
The family demanded Rehman's release, the holding of a judicial inquiry and the provision of protection for the lives of Afzal's heirs: his wife and five children.
