Another student at the University of Lahore (UoL) has attempted suicide, sustaining serious injuries after jumping from the second floor of a campus building, police confirmed on Monday.

 

According to Lahore Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Operations Faisal Kamran, the woman is a first-semester pharmacy student and hails from Narowal.

 

Her parents have been asked to come to Lahore, DIG Kamran said.

 

“She jumped from the second floor of the pharmacy department,” the cop said, adding that the incident appeared to be a suicide attempt.

 

While police are working to determine the reason behind the attempt, initial findings revealed she had been talking to someone on the phone for half an hour before the incident.

 

“She jumped during the call,” he said.

 

On her injuries, DIG Kamran said the woman had fractured her legs but there was no severe head injury.

 

Meanwhile, the student’s mobile phone is with the police but remains locked.

 

The cop said that she would be asked for the password once her medical condition allowed. “Otherwise, we will get an analysis conducted.”

 

While an FIR [First Information Report] has not yet been registered as the decision rests with the student’s parents, the university has suspended on-campus classes.

 

In a notice issued by the registrar’s office, the varsity said all on-campus teaching activities had been suspended to ensure student safety. The notice added that classes would shift to online mode from Tuesday, January 6, until further orders.

 

DIG Kamran also said that police had spoken to the varsity administration that is mulling the installation of fences on every floor to prevent such incidents.

 

It merits a mention that this is the second incident of its kind at UoL where another pharmacy student, namely Muhammad Awais, died in December 2025 after jumping off a varsity building.

 

Family and fellow students claimed that Awais was under extreme pressure due to low attendance and financial troubles. 

 

The death had prompted the university to form an inquiry committee as students staged protests and demanded accountability.
