’s retirement who was replaced by General Qamar Javed Baja earlier this week.

According to the local media reports, the 64-year-old Lutf Amim Shibli consumed poison after almost one of camping, urging for Gen. Sharif’s extension of service.

Shibli had reportedly consumed poison some days ago and died on Wednesday.

"Raheel Sharif is a messiah. I am his fan. Only he can save the country from terrorism and social ills," The Express Tribune reported, citing a poster put on display by the man.

Shibli’s sister-in-law Nooren told the paper "He attempted suicide on Nov 27 after the ISPR [Inter-Services Public Relations] announced the retirement plan of Gen Raheel. We took him to Jinnah hospital from where he was referred to Aga Khan University Hospital. He was initially on ventilator, but later died."

The confirmation by the Pak military came amid rife speculation regarding an extension in the COAS’ term after former military ruler Musharraf called for an extension in his tenure, warning against a change in the military leadership.
