The Incident
The man, identified as Tahir, reportedly administered poison to his three daughters – Raeesa (18), Hibbah (16), and Zohra Fatima (11).

The Letter
The police found a two-page letter, purportedly written by Tahir, near the bodies. In the letter, Tahir confessed to his decision to end his life and the lives of his family members.
