KARACHI, Feb 10 A 35-year-old woman, mother of four, committed suicide at her house in Tashqand Colony, a shantytown in Jackson police area.

The police said that the victim, Ismat Bibi, wife of Naeem Khan, was mentally unstable and she hanged herself from the ceiling fan.

The body was shifted to the Civil Hospital for a post-mortem examination. Medico-legal sources confirmed that the woman had committed suicide.

Later, the body was handed over to the victim`s husband, a primary school teacher at a private school, for burial.

Meanwhile, acting on the directives of a sessions court, Sharea Faisal Police have registered a case against four officials of a commercial bank for committing an armed robbery, adds APP.

Complainant Asad Ali Awan moved an application in the court, stating that he had obtained a car loan from a bank and paid more than the actual price of the car but the bank was demanding more money. Despite a restraint order passed by the SHC barring bank officials or recovery staff from visiting the house of a customer, five bank officials came to his residence in Askari IV and took away his car at gunpoint. The court ordered the police to lodge an FIR which registered a case against the suspects under Sections 395 and 365 of the PPC.
