The incident comes amid broader concerns about student safety. Earlier in January, a female student at a private university in Lahore suffered critical injuries after jumping from a second-floor building. Authorities described it as her second suicide attempt in two weeks.
In December 2025, another student from the same university died after falling from the fourth floor. Police said she had called her family shortly before the incident and was reviewing her last phone conversation. Officials have not yet released further details in the current case. The investigation remains ongoing.
