Earlier, a tragic incident took place in October at Punjab University, where a female student decided to take her life in a hostel room. This student, identified as Umm-e-Habiba, was in her fifth semester at the Institute of Education and Research (IER).

Her corpse was discovered hanging from the ceiling fan in her room; this incident struck shock and terror in her university community. This incident happened on October 14, when Habiba went to visit a friend in the same hostel in the afternoon.

Evidence shows that her friend had left for some personal engagement. On returning, she did not find any response even after knocking for quite some time. The friend then had to call the security guards to break open the door, and they found Habiba hanging, lifeless, from a ceiling fan.

The exact reasons for Habiba’s suicide are still unclear, and the incident left a multitude of questions unanswered. The community of the university was deeply saddened by the loss of a young and bright student; the incident highlighted the importance of addressing mental well-being and supporting every student in need.
