Bilawal Bhutto offers condolence on Brigadier (retd) Asad Munir's tragic death

Pakistan People's Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has extended his condolences after learning about the tragic news of Brigadier (retd) Asad Munir's passing away.

In a tweet published Friday, Bilawal wrote:

"So upsetting to hear about the death of @asadmunir38 . I pray that all mighty Allah gives his family strength to cope in this difficult time. Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un @Khalid_Munir @gabeeno."

On Friday, as told by police officials, the deceased brigadier took his life by hanging himself from the ceiling fan at his residence.

Family sources have informed that the former Member State Capital Development Authority (CDA), was deeply upset after reports about the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) filing a reference against him over restoration of a plot in F-11 area of the federal capital came afloat.

Meanwhile, Brigadier retd Asad Munir's family has requested the police not to conduct postmortem examination of his body.

Senior journalist Umar Cheema said Munir also left a note before committing suicide asking the anti-corruption watchdog to remove his name from the inquiry once they are done probing allegations against him.
