Man commits suicide

Published January 31, 2003

CHAKWAL, Jan 30: A youngman committed suicide in Madina Town here on Wednesday.

Twenty-two years old Mohammad Arif lived in a rented house. He developed relations with a married woman, who was his neighbour. Both of them had a dispute and were not on talking terms. The disheartened man sprinkled kerosene oil and set himself on fire. He was shifted to District Headquarters Hospital in serious condition where he died.

Meanwhile, a man, who had been critically injured after being shot by two persons two days ago, died in a Rawalpindi hospital.
