Sajid, a father of three, has committed suicide in Chishtian after receiving a high electricity bill.
ARY News has reported that Muhammad Sajid, a resident of Chishtian’s Mehboob Colony, took his life after arguing with his brothers over a high electricity bill.
Sajid was reportedly the family breadwinner, a father of three who worked as a vegetable vendor. He fought with his brothers after they received an electricity bill of 17,000 rupees.
Sajid committed suicide after consuming poison.
His last words, as quoted by his brother, were, “I am a poor man. How can I pay the bill of 17,000 rupees?”
Such incidents are now seen happening at a regular pace. Previously, a 65-year-old woman, Razia Bibi, suffering from a hernia, jumped into a drain after her family received a high electricity bill.
