However, Yousaf lamented that even this therapeutic approach proved ineffective in alleviating Asim Jamil’s suffering, saying, “[But] giving electric shock to him [Asim Jamil] did not help.”

Yousaf also clarified that on the day of the incident, his late brother had been alone at home and had used a security guard’s firearm to end his life, unable to endure the pain and anguish any longer.

In response to speculations and unfounded rumors surrounding Asim’s death, Yousaf emphatically stated that his brother had no enmity with anyone, nor had anyone attacked him. He concluded by affirming, “It was his destiny, and we are at peace with this decision of Allah.”
