Muhammad Amjad, resident of Kumharan Wala Square had committed suicide “for not being paid compensation for his house that was demolished to make way for a flyover.”
NHA had demolished his eight marla house a year and a half ago to construct the flyover on the square.
The compensation resulted in a dispute between the deceased’s family members who claimed that Amjad’s grandfather did not transfer the ownership of the house to anyone else.
Once the property is transferred, the maternal aunt of Amjad will also be among the heirs.
The district administration opted out from the feud and decided to let the family come to a decision.
The burial and funeral arrangements were made by the district administration.
Superintendent of Police Gulgasht Shoaib Khurram said that an FIR was lodged in order to investigate the officials who did not respond timely to Amjad’s complaint.

@Ajamal: Internal family disputes over money should be the least of our worries. What matters is the delay in payment and those responsible should be given exemplary punishment.
Is that what is needed to get what is rightfully yours ? I feel someone from this agency should be taken to task for criminal neglect in discharge of their duties and it should start from the chief executive.
Tooooooooooo late but what happened with the Government employees who wanted piece the pie?
