Pakistani-origin Imam brutally beaten to death in Germany
The Imam of mosque in German city Stuttgart Shahid Nawaz Qadri who was assassinated three days ago wasn’t victim of hate-crime, but it was the result of family feud.

Pakistan’s Ambassador to Germany Dr Mohammad Faisal also confirmed the incident that happened on December 21.
Faisal in a couple of tweets said, “In an unfortunate incident in Stuttgart, Mr Shahid Nawaz, a Pakistani, has been murdered by unknown assailant(s) on December 21”.
“I have sent my CG Frankfurt to Stuttgart to meet the family & ensure all possible assistance. He will also meet the Police. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family,” Dr Mohammad Faisal said.
