Extreme step: Man commits suicide after killing ‘girlfriend’
The police claimed that the two were in a romantic relationship for the last five years
ISLAMABAD:
A man committed suicide after allegedly killing her “girlfriend” in the jurisdiction of Shams Colony Police Station on Thursday.
The police said that Muhammad Asif, who worked in a non-governmental organisation, committed suicide after killing Amara Alam outside a private hospital.
Alam, a final-year medical student of Islamabad Medical and Dental College went to the private hospital to sit an exam. The police claimed that the two were in a romantic relationship for the last five years. On Thursday morning, Asif reached the hospital, shot and killed Alam using a 9mm pistol and committed suicide.
Shams Colony SHO Ikramullah confirmed the incident saying the man committed suicide after killing Alam. He said that both belonged to Mianwali and were residing in the capital.
As soon as Alam finished her exam and came out, Asif who was waiting outside the hospital, shot dead her after an exchange of harsh words, said the officer quoting an eyewitness.
Ikramullah said that it was premature to say what was the motive behind the killing?
The officer said that last week Alam’s parents had filed an application at Mianwali Police Station against Muhammad Asif for allegedly threatening their daughter.
“Asif was in Islamabad and could not visit the investigators in Mianwali,” the officer explained.
After the incident, police and Rangers cordoned off the area. The bodies were shifted to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) for autopsy and later handed over to the families.
