Heartbreaking Farewell: CSS Officer Bilal Pasha’s Father Shares Poignant Last Words
Earlier, the father of Bilal Pasha, a civil service official who passed away under mysterious circumstances, recounted his last conversation with his son.
The sudden demise of Bilal Pasha, the CEO of Military Cantonment Bannu, has left friends and social media users in shock, with conflicting reports suggesting suicide, murder, or cardiac arrest as the cause of death.
Bannu District Police Officer Iftikhar Shah indicated that the death seems to be a case of suicide, though the official medical report is pending.
Funeral prayers of the officer were held in his hometown, Abdul Hakim, Punjab.
Bilal Pasha’s father Ahmed Yaar spoke to BBC Urdu and shared the details of his last phone conversation with Bilal.
Ahmed Yaar, a day laborer in Abdul Hakim village in Khanewal district, is the head of the family.
“Eight to ten days ago, one day Bilal was saying on the phone that Baba, my heart wants to leave the job and come home or take a few days off so that I can sleep wholeheartedly,” Ahmed Yaar recalled.
Bilal told his father that he had been posted to Rawalpindi and would apply for leave once he moved to his new position.
Ahmad Yaar said he had five sons and Bilal was the youngest. Ahmad Yaar’s brother Bashir Ahmed did not have children, so he adopted his nephew Bilal, and being in a joint family, Bilal was raised by both families together.
Ahmad Yaar said, “I got a call from Bilal at the time of Fajr prayer on Sunday, I was surprised because he never called at that hour. I did not know why he called. ’
Bilal got married a few years ago but separated from his spouse after some time. His friend, Assistant Commissioner Bannu Syed Abrar Ali Shah, expressed shock at Bilal’s death, mentioning that there were no indications of mental stress during their conversations.
