A female student at the University of Lahore was critically injured on Monday after she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from the fourth floor of a campus building, officials said, in the second such incident at the university in less than two weeks.
The student, identified as 21-year-old Fatima, was enrolled in the Doctor of Pharmacy programme. Initial reports said she jumped from the same spot from where another D-Pharmacy student, Muhammad Owais, had earlier jumped and died. University and hospital sources said Fatima survived the fall but suffered critical injuries. She was first taken to the university’s teaching hospital for emergency treatment and later shifted to a private hospital on Defence Road due to the severity of her condition.
