According to the victim's brother, Abdul Rehman was called downstairs by his five friends at midnight to celebrate his birthday. What began as what seemed like typical birthday antics quickly turned violent and deadly.
Initially, the friends threw eggs and stones at Abdul under the guise of cutting the cake. However, the situation escalated dramatically when they retrieved flammable liquid from a scooter and poured it over the young student before setting him ablaze.
The entire horrific incident was captured by CCTV cameras that show the moment the young man became engulfed in flames. The footage has since circulated online, showing the brutal nature of the attack.
