Haroon then got married for the third time but she dumped him. He then married a woman half his age, only to find himself in more trouble. As per his sons, their stepmom was always fighting with their dad. Haroon took the final swing; tying a knot to the ceiling fan and a noose around his neck.
According to Market police, 70-year-old Haroon was discovered hanging from a ceiling fan inside his shop. The incident came to light when his son arrived to open the store in the morning and found his father’s body.
