In a tragic incident in Faisalabad, Punjab, a man named Tahir killed his wife and three daughters before taking his own life on Friday. The motive behind the gruesome act was reported to be Tahir’s failure to repay loans. Out of Tahir’s five daughters, three were victims of the tragedy, while the other two were staying with relatives.
According to the police, Tahir had been battling depression since the death of his 9-year-old son a few months ago, who had tragically fallen from a roof. The bodies were transported to the hospital for a postmortem examination, and an investigation has been initiated to probe the circumstances surrounding the incident.
An alleged letter surfaced, purportedly written by Tahir, in which he disclosed that the extreme step was taken due to the inability to repay loans. The incident highlights the serious consequences that financial stress and mental health issues can have on individuals and their families.
