Maulana Yousaf Jamil has disclosed distressing details surrounding the untimely demise of his youngest brother, Asim Jamil.

Yousaf, in a video message, provided insights into the painful journey of his younger brother.

Asim's battle with depression was no secret, and his family had been actively supporting him in his fight against the debilitating condition, he said.

Yousaf went on to say that in a bid to put an end to his suffering, Asim Jamil reportedly took a drastic step, using a firearm obtained from a security guard.

Maulana Yousaf Jamil, in his message, vehemently refuted any speculation of enmity being the underlying cause of this tragic incident.

میرے بھائی کو بچپن سے ہی ذہنی دباؤ کی بیماری تھی۔
اور آج انہوں نے گارڈ کا پسٹل چھین کر خود کو گولی مار لی۔#tariqjameel #maulanatariqjameel #MaulanaTariqJamil #GazaWar pic.twitter.com/G5jmH7eunL
