Islamabad:
A gold-medallist Pakistani veterinarian committed suicide after
failing to get a job in the past two years, his family said.
Danish Nawaz, a doctor of veterinary medicine, committed suicide
at his village in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, reported the daily
Dawn.
"Nawaz had done his DVM degree from Agriculture University,
Peshawar, and got gold medal two years ago. He (wanted) a good job
and support his poor father," his brother Kashif Khan was quoted
as saying.
He said that Nawaz applied for many relevant posts, but was
rejected every time.
Kashif said Nawaz would despair over having spent huge amounts of
money of his father on education and his inability to take care of
the family.
