Khan’s convoy was making its way through Punjab province toward Islamabad on the march's third day. The demonstrators were challenging Khan's successor, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and his government, demanding snap elections. It was the practice of Khan's convoy team to invite a few journalists at a time onto the top of the truck to speak to Khan.
“Deeply saddened by the death of reporter Sadaf Naeem after falling from a long march container,” Sharif said in a tweet. “Cannot feel sad enough over this tragic incident. Heartfelt condolences to the family. Sadaf Naeem was a dynamic and hardworking reporter. We pray for patience for the family of the deceased.”
