Faisalabad boy consumes poisonous pills to take own life

Siddique was rushed to the tehsil headquarters hospital but couldn't survive

A young boy took his own life by consuming poisonous tablets over a domestic dispute, in Jaranwala area of Faisalabad on Wednesday.

The boy, identified as Siddique, was rushed to tehsil headquarters (THQ) hospital after swallowed the pills.

However, the poison had spread throughout the boy's body, and became the cause of his death.



On Monday, a student of grade seven fell to his death from the rooftop of his school's three-storey building in Federal B Area. Hours after the incident, the police declared that the student, who was allegedly suffering from diabetes and bouts of epilepsy, committed suicide by intentionally jumping off the building.

Police claim to have based their conclusion on the basis of CCTV footage obtained from the school as well as the student’s medical reports, which had been submitted to the school by the child’s parents.
