TAXILA, Oct 16: A man committed suicide, while another one was run over and killed by a train here on Thursday, police said.

Mohammad Dawood shot himself dead with a 12-bore shotgun in his home in Samoon village. Dawood was in distress since long because of some domestic problems.

The police handed over the body to the family of the deceased after an autopsy at the THQ hospital in Taxila.
