Mirpur Khas: A 21-year-old third-year medical student named Fahmida tragically took her own life by shooting herself at her home in Satellite Town, Mirpur Khas.
According to her family, Fahmida had been facing severe harassment from a group of teachers and male students at her private medical college.
She was also allegedly subjected to character assassination through a fake Instagram account created in her name.
Fahmida’s sister, Mehek Laghari, stated that her sister had confided in her a few days earlier about the harassment and had asked her to pursue legal action if anything happened to her.
Inspector General of Police Sindh, Javed Alam Odho, has taken serious notice of the incident and directed the DIG Mirpur Khas to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into all aspects of the case.
He has also instructed the police to provide full legal assistance and protection to the victim’s family.
A three-member committee headed by SSP Mirpur Khas has been formed, with orders to submit a detailed report within 10 days.
The Chancellor of the medical college confirmed that Fahmida’s parents had approached the administration earlier with a verbal complaint.
Although they did not file a written complaint, the pharmacy lecturer named in the allegations has been suspended.
The post-mortem of the deceased has been completed, and her mobile phone has been taken into custody for forensic examination.
The incident has sent shockwaves across the region, with demands for strict action against those responsible for the alleged harassment.
