In a devastating incident, an unemployed laborer in Rahim Yar Khan poisoned his three children before committing suicide, reportedly due to extreme financial distress and inability to afford Eid clothes for them.
The tragedy occurred in Sardar Garh Basti Haji Pir, where the man, a tractor trolley driver, had been struggling with unemployment. Police said he fed poisonous pills to his two disabled sons and daughter before consuming them himself. While the father and two sons died, the daughter survived and is under treatment at Sheikh Zayed Hospital.
This marks the second such horrific case this year—in February, a tailor in Swabi, KP, killed his four children before taking his own life after his wife left him amid financial struggles.
