The bodies of a 32-year-old father and his five-year-old son were recovered from a private hotel room in Naulkha area of Lahore.

Danish had booked a hotel room with his son Ayaan, but when he did not come out of the room, the hotel management contacted the police.

Police say that when they entered the room, the child was dead while Danish’s body was hanging from the fan.

Dawn News has reported that the father killed his son first and then himself because of poverty and unfavourable circumstances. The family has decided against registering the case but police and forensic teams have collected the evidence and the case is under investigation.
