A senior official of the State Life Insurance Corporation of Pakistan (SLIC), who was reportedly facing an inquiry over some “personal activities”, on Wednesday allegedly ended his life by jumping from the 11th floor of a multi-storey building on Karachi’s I.I. Chundrigar Road, according to police and sources.
Zafar Iqbal, 55, was serving as the deputy manager administration at State Life Insurance Building No. 2 opposite Habib Bank Plaza on I.I. Chundrigar Road.
His family disputed the claim that Iqbal had committed suicide and suggested that his death was a murder.
But City Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Muquddus Haider told media that initial investigation and eye-witness accounts showed that Iqbal, the father of four children, did commit suicide.
