In a harrowing turn of events, Muhammad Yousuf, an assistant at the Punjab Assembly, allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from the old building of the assembly complex in Lahore, as reported by assembly sources.
Yousuf’s distressing action prompted swift response from assembly workers, who promptly alerted rescue authorities. Rushed to a nearby hospital with severe injuries, Yousuf’s condition remains critical. Initial accounts suggest Yousuf was at his office as usual before the incident unfolded, with sources indicating a sudden phone conversation preceding his attempt. Notably, Yousuf serves in the Punjab Assembly Public Accounts Committee II.
As authorities delve into the matter, an investigation by the Lahore police aims to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident, probing into whether it was a deliberate act of self-harm or an accidental fall.
