A 21-year-old female student was admitted to a hospital in critical condition after falling from the second floor of the University of Lahore on Monday. The incident has raised concerns about student safety on campus.
The fall occurred at the same university where 21-year-old Muhammad Owais tragically took his own life just a few days earlier, prompting renewed attention to mental health and security measures within the institution.
Videos circulating on social media show fellow students rushing the injured student, identified as Fatima, to a nearby medical facility. Eyewitnesses reported that she either jumped or accidentally fell from the building, though the exact circumstances remain unclear.
The university administration has not released an official statement regarding the incident. However, citing concerns for student safety, officials announced the indefinite closure of the campus. A spokesperson explained that the decision aims to provide a secure environment while authorities investigate the situation.
Local police have launched an inquiry to determine the cause of the fall and whether any foul play or external factors were involved. Investigators are reviewing security footage, interviewing students, and examining the scene as part of the ongoing probe.
Students and families have expressed shock and concern over the consecutive tragedies at the university. The incidents have sparked discussions on campus safety, mental health support, and the need for preventive measures to protect students.
Authorities have urged anyone with information regarding the fall to cooperate with investigators to ensure a thorough understanding of the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The University of Lahore remains closed until further notice, as officials prioritize the safety and well-being of students and staff while investigations continue.
