9th grade student commits suicide in Karachi over 'financial crisis'

In a shocking turn of events, a 17-year-old student in Karachi committed suicide due to overwhelming financial constraints.

As per reports, Rafi, 9th grade tragically took his own life by hanging himself in Sharifabad, Karachi, due to financial crisis.

According to ASI Imran Lodhi, Head Muharar of Sharifabad Police Station, Rafi's body was found in a flat near Al-Aqsa Mosque in Liaquatabad. The body was shifted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for further legal proceedings.

Rafi's father, employed in the education department, had separated from his wife, and the student was living with his father.

The family had been residing in a rented flat for the past year and a half, but financial problems had worsened due to salary delays.

This resulted in Rafi being unable to pay his exam fees, and the rent for the flat had also not been paid for several months.

Police are investigating the matter further to gather more details surrounding the tragedy.
