A poverty-stricken elderly man has committed suicide by jumping off the fourth floor of a residential building in Karachi.
The deceased man was identified as 60-year-old Salim who jumped off the fourth floor of a building in the Garden Ramswami area. Rescue sources told media that the officials shifted the elderly man to the hospital in critical condition but he succumbed to his wounds.
The family said that Salim is the father of five children and resides in a rental flat. They added that Salim was a technician of generators and he was facing financial hardships due to lack of orders.
In July, the father-of-two Muhammad Masood in Rawalpindi had committed suicide after being blackmailed by an online loan company.
