The police official locked his room at the police station and shot himself in the head.

An assistant sub-inspector posted at the Aroop Police Station located on the Gujranwala-Sialkot bypass committed suicide on Tuesday, Express News reported.

According to Express News correspondent, Hafiz Shahid, the police official, Abdul Aziz, locked his room at the police station and shot himself in the head. Aziz died on the spot.

The station house officer at the police station said that the sub-inspector had not exchanged harsh words with any other police official, but was depressed for the past few days.

The SHO revealed that the deceased had confided in him that he was worried about his sons, one of whom had gone overseas for a livelihood and was unsuccessful in doing so.

He further said that the return of Aziz's son to Pakistan had added to his anguish.

Today, as Aziz returned from the court, he locked himself in his room and committed suicide.
