Shahan was taken to District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital Attock from where he was taken to Rawalpindi in a Rescue-1122 ambulance but he succumbed to his injuries on the way to the hospital in Rawalpindi, reports  Dawn News.

“We were near DHQ hospital Rawalpindi when he breathed his last,” District Emergency Officer Ishfaq Mian told Dawn News.
