In a shocking incident, Alamgir Tareen passed away after allegedly committing suicide by shooting himself in the head after suffering mental health issues.

Police said Alamgir allegedly committed suicide at his residence in Gulberg area of Lahore.  Alamgir had left a hand-written suicide note citing health reasons and taking steroids as the reason for inflicting self-harm. According to the family, the 63-year-old Alamgir was single but was going to marry his fiancé this December.

His family said that Alamgir didn’t come out of his room till 10 AM when his domestic worker arrived on duty. The servant peeked into the room through a window to find him “covered in blood” and immediately informed Jahangir Tareen.

Alamgir was the owner of Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Multan Sultans . He established a name for himself as a leading businessman in South Punjab and operated one of the largest water purification plants in the country. He did his bachelors from the University of California at Berkeley and later completed his Masters degree from Yale University.

A large number of people visit the residence of his brother, Jahangir Tareen, to offer their condolences. The cricket fraternity also mourned the unfortunate death of the Multan Sultans owner and paid their respects.
