LAHORE:
A police constable facing departmental action committed suicide by hanging himself allegedly in frustration over the behaviour of senior officers.
Constable Mohsin Javed had been suspended and his salary stopped on charges of remaining absent for four days. On Tuesday, he reportedly took his own life by hanging himself from a tree in Police Lines.
He reportedly belonged to Bahawalpur, around 500 kilometres from Lahore and had also requested his repatriation to his hometown.
