The federal capital police have rejected rumours about a suicide committed by a senior citizen in protest against inflated electricity bills, the 24NewsHD TV channel reported Saturday.
There is no truth in the story, Islamabad Police tweeted.
They added the senior citizen fell down during a protest and later went home safely.
Some people filmed it and shared it on social media claiming the elderly person ended his life by jumping off a bridge, they explained.
As countrywide protests against the hiked power tariff are underway, social media is abuzz with such stuff.
