MQM-P lawmaker admitted to hospital after attempted suicide
Police said Advocate Muhammad Bilal poured petrol over him and tried to end his life as he was distraught for not being appointed as a district prosecutor despite having proper qualifications.
He claimed that he fulfilled the required qualifications for the post.
“I have been working hard and fulfilled all requirements but despite that, I was rejected. I tried to kill myself as I had no option. I want justice.”
Later, lawyers took him to Anarkali police station where an FIR was registered against him under Section 325,511 of Pakistan Penal Code.
