- Sikandar Ali, a police officer in Sargodha, stated that the reasons for Dr. Sheikh Mahmood’s death have not yet been determined, and the case is still under investigation.
- Amir Mahmood, a spokesperson for the Ahmadi community, called on authorities to take stronger measures to safeguard Ahmadis, highlighting that they are frequently attacked by extremist Sunni groups and falsely accused of blasphemy.
