Alamgir Tareen, the brother of seasoned politician, Jehangir Khan Tareen committed suicide on Thursday.
Initially, police sources said Alamgir allegedly committed suicide at his residence in Lahore’s Gulberg area. Later, the reports were confirmed by Jahangir’s family members as well.
Meanwhile, the police higher-ups said that further details will be available when they visit the crime scene.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr Tareen’s family. We request you all to kindly respect his family’s privacy. May his soul rest in eternal peace.”
SHO Ghalib Market Muhammad Irfan told reporters that Alamgir allegedly shot himself. The police official added that the weapon was in police custody and that police had cordoned off Alamgir’s Gulberg residence.
SHO Irfan said the process of collecting evidence was ongoing, and said based on preliminary investigations, they could not determine the cause of the alleged suicide.
“The police will be able to present a final report with the facts and reasons of the case after the initial investigation is completed,” he added.
Seeing the recent history of crimes and Punjab Police potentials, this could be another potential case turned into a murder case against Imran Khan like that of Lawyer Abdul Razzaq Shar.
