For all Pakistanis, this is devastating news. In a tragic incident in Karachi, an employee of a private company killed his CEO over non-payment of salary. Shoaib, the accused, had not received his salary for the last three months. This led to a heated argument with CEO Naveed Khan. During the argument, Shoaib lost control and stabbed Naveed with a sharp-edged tool.
Naveed Khan was the CEO of a foreign software company. Shoaib, a former employee, became increasingly frustrated as salaries were delayed from the head office. One evening, Shoaib went to the office and entered Naveed’s room. Their argument escalated, resulting in Shoaib stabbing Naveed. Despite being rushed to the hospital, Naveed succumbed to his injuries.
The Importance of Work-Life Balance in Karachi
This horrible tragedy highlights the urgent need to address work-life balance and mental health issues. When employees face financial stress, it can lead to severe consequences, in this case, it was a murder. Companies must ensure timely payment of salaries and provide support for their employees’ mental well-being. It is so unfortunate to see the extreme measures employees are willing to take.
The crime rates in Karachi seem to be breaking records. In another similar incident, a property dispute in Larkana led to the deaths of two people. Members of two groups clashed over a piece of land near Mohenjo Daro. The confrontation turned violent, resulting in Barkat Ali Kalhoro and Mazhar Ali Chaki being killed in the crossfire. Police are investigating and trying to arrest those involved. Our heart goes out to the families that have lost their dear ones.
It’s vital to take preventative measures. Appropriate action will result in a safer and more supportive society. Let this be a wake-up call that brings about the required change in our systems.
