From The News:

Data Darbar volunteer sacrifices his life preventing bomber
LAHORE: A volunteer at Data Darbar set an example of courage when he sacrificed his life in trying to prevent the bomber here late Thursday night.

Salim Akhtar, who neither was a policeman nor a government servant, used to work as a volunteer at Data Darbar. The CCTV footage of Data Darbar carnage shows that when red light at a walk through gate installed at the entrance of Data Darbar blinks, Salim Akhtar jumps to action without any fear of risking his life and runs after the suspect and immediately after that a powerful blast occurs.

Salim Akhtar could have saved his life by continuing to stand at the door but his sense of duty proved much stronger than his instinct to save his own life. He lost his life along when the bomber blew himself up.

Here is the video in which you can see Akhtar chasing the suicide bomber at around 0:30 shortly after which the blast occurs, killing both of them and many others:
