Martyrdom and Legacy

Still young Malik Saad was martyred in a suicide attack on January 27, 2007. Arguably one of the most respected individuals of his time; Malik Saad’s courage, determination, sense of morals and principles set a precedent for his colleagues, juniors and new inductees in the Police Service of Pakistan, particularly for those from his native province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. Malik Saad was extremely popular amongst the people of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and is fondly remembered as a legendary figure of sorts, especially in small towns and villages where tales of his heroic exploits and humanitarian deeds have become a significant part of folklore. His funeral was attended by over 200,000 people and his legacy remains an integral part of the history of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province and the Civil Services of Pakistan.
