Lahore University Pharmacy Student Critical After Fall as Police Focus on Personal Motive

Police cite early indications of personal factors pending forensic analysis, with the student's account to follow.

Overview

  • The 21-year-old D-Pharm student, identified as Fatima, remains in critical condition on ventilator support with spine and lung trauma under a special medical board at Lahore General Hospital.
  • Investigators have seized her locked mobile phone and multiple CCTV recordings, are reviewing call detail records, and have not yet registered an FIR as the family has filed no complaint.
  • Police say preliminary findings point to personal or domestic issues rather than administrative pressure, noting a 27-minute phone call before the jump, deletion of the last call record, and a recent test score of 18 out of 35.
  • The University of Lahore has suspended on-campus activity, sealed entry and exit points, moved classes online, and formed an eight-member inquiry committee chaired by Justice (retd) Muhammad Bilal Khan.
  • This was the second such incident in under three weeks at the same campus, prompting student protests and renewed calls for transparent investigations, stronger counseling, and physical safety measures.
