A tragic incident occurred at Bahauddin Zakariya University in Multan, Punjab, where a student reportedly commits suicide. Police confirmed that the deceased was a third-semester BS Psychology student. Early reports suggest the case is a suicide.
Authorities stated that an investigation has been launched, and the family of the deceased has been informed. Details about the circumstances leading to the incident are still under review.
This incident is part of a growing concern over students’ mental health in Pakistan. Earlier this year, a 17-year-old girl in Hafizabad committed suicide after failing her intermediate part-1 exams. She consumed acid in distress and could not be saved despite emergency treatment. Her father said she had been deeply upset over her exam results.
Similarly, in Upper Dir, a 15-year-old girl named Anmol also committed suicide after feeling overwhelmed by her SSC exam results. Despite scoring 1010 out of 1200 marks, she reportedly felt dissatisfied with her performance.
Psychologists and education experts say academic pressure is a key factor in such incidents. They emphasize that students often face immense stress to perform well, which can affect their emotional well-being.
Police continue to investigate the Multan case and are collecting statements from hostel authorities and witnesses. The university administration expressed condolences and said it will support the family during this difficult time.
These incidents highlight the urgent need for mental health awareness and counseling support in educational institutions. Experts stress that families, schools, and colleges must work together to identify struggling students and provide timely help.
The recent events underscore the serious challenges students face under academic pressure. Authorities urge society to address the rising mental health crisis to prevent further tragedies.
