She remains under critical care, preventing authorities from recording her statement. Police have stated that no formal legal complaint has been filed by her family so far. This tragic incident comes just days after another D-Pharm student at the same university died by suicide after jumping from the fourth floor.
According to preliminary investigations, Fatima arrived at university at 7:58 am. but did not attend her class. Before the jump, she spent 27 minutes on a phone call and deleted her last call at 8:30 a.m. Police also discovered that her brothers had recently replaced her old mobile phone a day prior to the incident. Statements from both brothers are currently being recorded.
Authorities noted that Fatima recently scored 18 out of 35 in a test and had expressed dissatisfaction with her performance to her father and brothers. Police are reviewing CCTV footage from the university and surrounding areas to gather further evidence.
While initial findings suggest that the incident may involve personal or domestic issues, authorities have emphasized that a conclusive cause will only be determined after completing the ongoing investigation.
