It was confirmed by Pakistani police that he was insisting on going out to fly his kite instead of doing the homework. However, as the furious father lit a match to complete the terrifying threat, the oil caught light. Shaheer was set ablaze and his desperate screams caused his mother, Shazia, to rush in and help her husband try and put out the flames by throwing blankets over their son. Tragically, their efforts were in vain and the boy died of his injuries in hospital on 16 September. He had sustained severe burns all over his body.
