Following the blast, Mufti Munir Shakir and the three injured were immediately transferred to Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) in Peshawar. According to LRH spokesperson Muhammad Asim, Mufti Munir Shakir sustained injuries to his left leg and was initially reported to be out of danger. Days before his martyrdom, Mufti Munir Shakir released a video detailing the security threats against him. In his second political and religious phase, Mufti Munir Shakir became a harsh critic of state policies and security narratives. Mufti Munir Shakir, originally named Muhammad Shakir, was born in 1969 in Karak district, though some claim he hailed from Makhizai village in Kurram Agency.
