Unemployment claims another victim

Karachi 

A jobless man reportedly took his own life at his Lyari residence on Thursday.

According to police, Abdul Rehman, 50, hanged himself from a ceiling fan following a heated argument with his wife at their Lane 2, Rangiwara residence. 

The family took him to the Civil Hospital where doctors pronounced him dead on arrival. His relatives, as per officials, took the body away without conducting legal formalities.
