Alamgir Khan Tareen, the owner of PSL franchise Multan Sultans and brother of Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party chief Jahangir Tareen, passed away at the age of 63.

The PSL team made the announcement on Twitter.

While the police are yet to make an official statement, some news reports suggested Alamgir may have taken his own life at his residence in Lahore’s Gulberg area.

Reports also suggested Alamgir allegedly left behind a hand-written suicide note in which he attributed his self-harm to “a disease he had been suffering from”.
