A property dealer identified as Arshad Jamal has reportedly taken his own life by shooting himself in Rawalpindi.
The video in which he is seen committing suicide has been widely shared which brought attention to the case, and the police launched an investigation.
The video footage shows the dealer, sitting in the office of another property dealer within a housing society, inquiring about a particular individual to an office boy. Upon receiving an unsatisfactory response regarding the person’s whereabouts, the dealer takes out a gun from his bag, places it against his temple, and presses the trigger, resulting in instant death.
The police, under the supervision of Rawat police station SHO Muhammad Zulfiqar, gathered evidence and transferred the deceased to a medical facility, reported The Express Tribune.
SHO Rawat confirmed that a preliminary report has been initiated based on statements from Gulfam Shehzad, the nephew of the deceased.
According to the nephew’s statement, the deceased Arshad Jamal had contacted him before the incident, mentioning a financial dispute with another man named Sheikh Tayyab amounting to Rs300 million.
A preliminary report has been lodged to dig deep into this matter.
