Lahore University girl who attempted suicide discharged from hospital

Fatima, a student of the University of Lahore who attempted to commit suicide by jumping from the second floor of the university, was discharged from hospital after successful surgery on Saturday, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The girl was admitted in the General Hospital of Lahore on January 5, 2026, and was later shifted to the Punjab Institute of Neurosciences. Fatima's spine surgery was successful.

Fatima remained under treatment for 12 days and was later discharged from the hospital today and left for her home.

Earlier, the University of Lahore constituted a ‘high-level’ inquiry committee comprising senior faculty members and the management officers hours after a D. Pharmacy student attempted suicide by jumping from the second floor of the varsity building on Monday.

Fatima (21) was rushed to a local hospital with her both legs fractured badly and injuries to her other body parts.

The police inquiries suggested that she took the extreme step following the pressure of her family to continue her studies in D. Pharmacy while she found it a tough subject. There were also reports that the student and her family 

Police have taken custody of CCTV footage from all cameras installed inside and around the university to establish the full sequence of events, which is currently being reviewed.

Investigators said the student remained on a phone call for 27 minutes before jumping and had deleted the record of her last call.

Initial findings suggested that she arrived at the university in the morning but did not attend her class. She was reportedly upset after receiving 18 marks out of 35 in a test, a matter she had also discussed with her father and brother.

Police said further progress in the case would be made after recording the student’s statement.
