Police have released additional details in the investigation into a suicide attempt involving a female student at the University of Lahore.
According to investigators, the student suffered serious injuries after falling from an upper floor of a university building. This marks the second such incident reported at the institution within the past 15 days. Last month, a male student, Owais Sultan, died after a similar fall at the same campus.
Police said the student arrived at the university at 7:58 am on the day of the incident. However, she did not attend her scheduled class. Investigators stated that she remained on a phone call for around 27 minutes before jumping from the building at approximately 8:30 am.
Officials added that the student deleted her most recent call record before the incident. Her brothers told police they had purchased a new mobile phone for her a day earlier. This was because her previous device developed technical faults.
