There are two opinions on this news circulating on social media.
Asad told the media and police in his statement that the attackers were being instructed by someone on phone call. This statement created a conspiracy theory that Asad was targeted by intelligence because Asad’s previous record is not well regarding to govt and the army.
A defamation case was filed against journalist Asad Toor which was later closed by the LHC. In the verdict, it was said there is no evidence against Asad in this case of defamation. Asad a journalist and YouTuber was actively seen on social media with content against Army and Government.
There is another report by Bol News Journalist Jameel Farooqui that the whole incident is Asad’s issue involving a girl and her brother who knocked Asad Toor over inappropriate contact with his sister.
