KARACHI: Two Class X students, a male and a female, ended their lives at their school — Gulshan-e-Fatima School in Patel Para, Soldier Bazaar — on Tuesday morning after their families refused to allow them to marry.
Police said the 15-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl, classmates and neighbours in Patel Para, were found shot dead in their classroom with the pistol in the boy’s hand.
Soldier Bazaar SHO Irshad Soomro said the two fell in love with each other two or three years ago. Their troubles started when their families found out and did not approve of their friendship.
