On February 18, 2026, a tragic incident occurred in Lahore where a 22-year-old medical student named Fariha from Fatima Jinnah Medical College jumped from the third floor of her hostel, resulting in severe injuries that led to her death in the hospital. Reports indicate that Fariha had been suffering from depression for six months, and her final exams were approaching, with one paper already completed and another scheduled for February 19. The college administration stated that she was walking on the rooftop when she reportedly lost her balance and fell. However, the police are investigating whether it was an accident, a suicide attempt, or if she was pushed. This incident marks the third such case in Lahore within two months, raising concerns about mental health among students. "We are fully aware of the mental health issues students face, especially during exam times," said a university official, highlighting the need for better support systems (Express News, February 17, 2026).
