Alamgir Tareen, the owner of Multan Sultans, a franchise in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), tragically took his own life on Thursday, as reported by Geo News.
According to the Lahore Police, he used a pistol to shoot himself in the head at his residence in Gulberg, leaving behind a handwritten suicide note. The note briefly mentioned that he was suffering from an undisclosed illness, but no further details were provided.
Close friends of Tareen, however, expressed their surprise, stating that he never spoke about any illness during his lifetime when approached by Geo News.
Despite being 63 years old and unmarried, Tareen had plans to get married later in December of this year. He had gained recognition as a prominent businessman in South Punjab and was known for operating one of the largest water purification plants in the country.
Tareen acquired his bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and pursued a master’s degree from the esteemed Yale University. He had a strong passion for sports and aimed to establish a robust platform for aspiring athletes, providing them with the best possible resources to enhance their skills. This dedication to promoting sports was reflected in the data-driven approach adopted by the Multan Sultans cricket franchise under his guidance.
Expressing their condolences, Atif Rana, the CEO of Lahore Qalandars, spoke highly of Tareen, describing him as a good friend with a graceful personality. The Lahore Qalandars had shared a memorable journey with Alamgir in the context of the PSL.
The untimely demise of Alamgir Tareen has left the PSL community and his friends and acquaintances in shock, as they remember him for his contributions to the world of sports and his admirable character.
