The girl held onto Noor's right leg to prevent from falling backwards. Cops learnt that Noor could not afford a two-wheeler. He learnt to perform stunts by borrowing scooter from friends and he would often take his friend's scooter out to perform stunts and wheelies.

“For close to 10 months, he would go with friends on weekends and train to do wheelies with them for up to three hours each day. Sometimes they would train on weekdays too. He hooked up with other stunt riders and practised till he believed that he was an expert,” the police officer was quoted.

Upon being questioned about the girl in the video, Noor reportedly said he did not know her well.

“He said he only knew that her name was Veda. Noor Ahmed said that the girl was impressed by his skills and, on the day they filmed the stunt, she came up to him and volunteered to be part of the shoot,” the Police officer was quoted.

Police tracked down the scooter through its number and found out that it belongs to Noor's friend Imran Khan. Police caught hold of Imran Khan who led the Police to Noor Ahmed.
