Five people, including a married couple, another woman and two young girls, were found dead inside a house in Gulshan-e-Falak Naz, Block J, in Karachi\u2019s Bin Qasim area, with police investigating a suspected suicide.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police are examining a pistol licence recovered from the scene, while the post-mortem reports of all five deceased are awaited, a senior superintendent of police (SSP) said.<\/p>\n

According to police sources, the house was locked from inside, with a double rod fitted to the door handle.<\/p>\n

Investigators suspect the girls may have been poisoned before the suspected suicide, but the circumstances and cause of the deaths have yet to be established.<\/p>\n

A note recovered from the house reportedly described severe financial difficulties faced by the family over the past six months, including unemployment and a lack of support from relatives.<\/p>\n

The note mentioned a need for Rs26,000 to meet the children\u2019s expenses and Rs35,000 to refill a gas cylinder. It also referred to alleged humiliation by relatives, mental distress and a lack of financial assistance for the father\u2019s medical expenses.<\/p>\n

The family reportedly expressed frustration over the lack of support for people in need and called for action against those who had allegedly abandoned them during their difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n

The landlord said the deceased, identified as Shahzaib, had rented the house about five months ago for a monthly rent of Rs10,000. He said Shahzaib was unemployed and that no one appeared to visit the family.<\/p>\n

The landlord said he had heard a gunshot from inside the house but had not paid attention to it at the time.<\/p>\n

He added that he later knocked on the door to discuss shifting the solar power system to the electricity connection. When no one responded, he informed the police.<\/p>\n

The bodies were shifted to the Edhi morgue in Sohrab Goth after post-mortem examinations.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sindh Inspector General of Police Javed Alam Odho took notice of the incident and sought a detailed report from the Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) East.<\/p>\n

The IGP directed the relevant officers to conduct a transparent investigation, collect evidence from the scene and take action in accordance with the law. He also ordered them to keep him informed about progress in the case.<\/p>\n

Police said the investigation was underway to establish the cause of the deaths and determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
