Unidentified gunmen opened a burst of kalashnikov fire on Bhatti and then fled away in a white-coloured car. The federal police announced a holdup in nearby areas, but failed to arrest the assailants. Pamphlets from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Punjab were found from the place of the incident that stated “anyone who criticises the blasphemy law has no right to live”.
The minister was on his way to participate in a cabinet’s meeting after visiting his mother when his official vehicle was attacked by four unidentified armed men who were in a car. They opened fire at him. Since there was no security detail accompanying him, the assailants made sure that the minister was dead and then threw a number of pamphlets over his car before speeding away from the crime scene."
