The confrontation arose after Varyam objected to Masih drinking water from the same cooler, citing religious reasons. During an argument, Varyam pulled out a knife and slit masih&#8217;s throat, leading to his death at the scene. The event was witnessed by other workers,and varyam along with three others were detained by police. Masih was described as a dedicated worker and caring family man, with his death leaving his family in a difficult financial situation, especially as his son suffers from a health condition requiring ongoing treatment. The community and human rights activists have expressed shock and are advocating for justice.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A Roman Catholic man in Pakistan was reportedly murdered by his Muslim coworker who denied him a drink of water.<\/p>\n<p>Siddique Masih, who was a 40-year-old father of four, was a brick loader in Punjab Province who worked on a daily-wage basis, per a June 24 <a href=\"https:\/\/morningstarnews.org\/2026\/06\/muslim-in-pakistan-kills-christian-co-worker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from Morning Star News.<\/p>\n<p>Saleem Ghouri, a pastor and human rights activist, told the outlet that \u201caccording to eyewitnesses, Siddique and a Muslim laborer identified as Ahmad Varyam had a brief argument over a wage-related issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dispute appeared to have been resolved after other workers intervened, and both men returned to work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Varyam reportedly confronted Masih and \u201cobjected to his drinking water from the same cooler because he was a Christian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ghouri added that \u201cSiddique responded by comparing Ahmad\u2019s conduct to that of Yazid, whose forces denied water to Islam\u2019s Prophet Muhammad\u2019s grandson Imam Hussain and his family before the massacre at Karbala.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to witnesses, Ahmad then pulled out a knife, grabbed Siddique from behind and slit his throat. He died at the scene,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>The police then arrested Varyam and three others.<\/p>\n<p>Rafique Masih, the brother of the victim, worked in bricklaying alongside his brother and was present at the alleged attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy brother had gone to drink water while I continued working,\u201d he told Morning Star News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA few minutes later, I heard shouting, and someone told me that Ahmad had attacked him with a knife. When I reached the spot, other workers had restrained the attacker, and my brother was lying on the ground, blood gushing out of his throat. I was in complete shock.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rafique Masih described his brother as a \u201cdevoted Christian, a loving father, and a hardworking man,\u201d noting that his brother had a sickly son.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if there had been a disagreement, nothing could justify such violence,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are placing our trust in God and praying for justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ghouri likewise noted that \u201cSiddique was the sole breadwinner for his wife and four minor children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of his sons suffers from thalassemia and requires regular blood transfusions every two to three weeks,\u201d he noted. \u201cThe family lives in rented accommodation and was already struggling financially.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis death has left them facing an uncertain future.
