The caller asked him to collect his body from the Red Crescent Hospital. Mr Habibullah further stated that he along with his cousin Zulfikar Ali went to the hospital, where Dr Saddam informed him that his nephew committed suicide by hanging himself from the ceiling of bathroom at around 11:30pm on Friday (March 15) and the body’s postmortem examination was performed.
