Domestic dispute: Young man ‘commits suicide’

RAWALPINDI:

A 24-year-old man from Jhara Chowk died in what appeared to be a suicide due to a domestic dispute between his parents, Ratta Amral police said on Tuesday.

Sub Inspector Asghar Shaheen of Ratta Amral, who is handling the case, said Malik Usman shot himself dead with a pistol because of a clash between his father and mother.

He said that Usman, who ran a stationery shop at Circular Road, repeatedly requested his father and mother to end their argument, but neither listened. Usman later shot himself. Police removed the body to DHQ and later handed it over to the heirs for burial.
