Shafique wanted to be a military doctor. He worked day and night to attain top grades and was preparing for NUST’s medical test before he was killed in the attack.

He was a generous soul. He once asked his father to pay the school fee of a classmate who could not afford to pay tuition.

He loved to play cricket. He was a fantastic bowler and batsman, which earned him a spot at Peshawar’s Qayum Complex cricket club.

His family feels his loss deeply.
