Media outlets and social media platforms have circulated information regarding the incident, including varying reports about the identity and nationality of the individual concerned. In this regard, we emphasise the importance of relying solely on information released by the relevant authorities and avoiding the spread of rumours or unverified claims while investigations and legal proceedings remain ongoing.
