Maulana Yousaf Jamil, the elder son of the well-known religious scholar Maulana Tariq Jamil, has confirmed a tragic incident involving his brother, Asim Jamil, who took his own life due to severe depression. This sorrowful incident occurred in Punjab’s Talamba, initially sparking speculation of foul play, but Maulana Tariq Jamil clarified through social media that it was, in fact, an ‘accidental death.’
In a heartfelt video message, Maulana Yousaf Jamil revealed that his brother had been grappling with the weight of severe depression from a young age. As part of his treatment, Asim Jamil had been receiving electric shock therapy, yet despite continuous efforts to alleviate his suffering, his mental health had steadily deteriorated over the past six months.
Tragically, Maulana Yousaf Jamil disclosed that his brother resorted to taking his own life by seizing a firearm from a security guard while being alone at home on a fateful Sunday. He emphasized that there were no underlying enmities that led to his brother’s untimely demise, dispelling any notions of foul play.
Adding to the sombre narrative, Regional Police Officer (RPO) Multan, Sohail Chaudhary, reported that Maulana Asim Jamil had sustained a gunshot wound to the chest. This disturbing revelation was substantiated by CCTV footage, which captured the moment the religious scholar’s son tragically shot himself. The incident occurred while he was at the gymnasium.
