DPO Gujrat Sohail Zafar Chatta said a case has already been registered, however, nobody had been arrested thus far.

SP Maaz who is looking into the case said that although the car has been identified, due to a few complications no action could be taken.

He said the police had asked the security officer of the former PM to make the driver appear before the police.

Nawaz and his brother Shehbaz Sharif termed the boy as the "first martyr" of the homecoming caravan. None of the leaders of the PML-N attended funeral prayers for the boy that were offered on Saturday.
