Summary ASI Zubair Bajwa, deployed at Gulberg Facilitation Center, shot himself in head with official pistol
LAHORE: (Dunya News) – Additional Sub-Inspector (ASI) Zubair Bajwa (Late) on Thursday committed suicide, shooting himself in the head with the official pistol. Bajwa was deployed at Traffic Facilitation Center, Gulberg, and was a resident of Faisalabad. This is the 2nd suicide by a police official in Punjab during last one month, reported Dunya News.
According to police officials, Zubair was under mental stress and was being treated by a doctor in Shadman.
It is not the first suicide in Punjab police. Last month, ASI Azeem of Defence Police Station had also committed suicide in a similar fashion. One year ago, another police officer named Tariq had shot himself in the head after being scolded by SP Headquarter. In 2009, Sub-Inspector Waris of Southern Chhowni, sick of DIG Investigation Mushtaq Sukhera’s attitude, had also committed suicide. DPO Nankana Shahzad Waheed had also committed suicide at DPO House but the reason never came forward.
Another officer at Southern Chhowni Police Station also committed suicide under his senior’s pressure. Police officials brush aside every such incident, terming it a personal issue. Neither the government, nor the IG Punjab tried to find out the real problem behind these suicides.
