Just a week ago, a final-year student at Hamdard University committed suicide. Similarly, on Wednesday night, a student of Aga Khan University committed suicide within the premises of the institute. The student named Waseemullah Khan, who committed suicide was a second-year student of AKU Nursing. He was found hanging from the ceiling of his dorm room on late Wednesday night.
Khan belonged to Gilgit and was studying in the nursing department of the university on full scholarship in addition to the job guarantee in the same school.
The reason behind this extreme act is not known yet; just after this tragic incident all the classes and examination at the institute have been cancelled.
The administration of AKU hasn’t yet decided whether to hand over the body of deceased to the family or send for autopsy. Police is also conducting a thorough investigation and recording statements of his batch mates and teachers.
A young student committing suicide is indeed tragic and unfortunately the trend seems to be pervading in the society. This news today certainly makes it a serious issue that needs to be addressed instantly.
