Sheikh Idris, a senior member of Pakistan's Jamaat-e-Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), was shot dead by armed motorcyclists in Charsadda on May 5 while traveling to a religious school. The Islamic State in Khorasan Province claimed responsibility, though initial findings suggest the attack was planned in Afghanistan. The killing has sparked widespread protests across Pakistan, with JUI-F demanding immediate arrests and accusing the government of failing to protect citizens.
