Police Register Case After Student’s Death
Police in Mirpurkhas have registered a case against five individuals after the death of 21-year-old medical student Fehmida Leghari. The complaint includes charges of harassment and abetment to suicide. The student’s uncle filed the case and accused several people of causing mental distress.
Authorities named the college principal Tanveer Alam, his wife Professor Farzana, a lecturer, and two students in the FIR. Police officials have started an investigation and are collecting statements from those involved. They aim to determine the exact circumstances that led to the student’s death.
Family Claims Repeated Complaints Ignored
The family alleges that Fehmida faced blackmail from a lecturer and two students. They claim she reported the matter to the college administration several times. However, the administration did not act on her complaints. Instead, they allegedly pressured her to withdraw the case.
According to the complaint, the situation worsened when she refused to step back. The family says the administration threatened her with expulsion. They also claim she faced continued harassment during this period. These allegations have raised concerns about how institutions handle student complaints.
PMDC Orders Inquiry and Promises Strict Action
The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council has taken notice of the case and demanded a full inquiry report. The council asked the Sindh government and the college to provide complete records. Officials want a clear and transparent investigation.
PMDC President Rizwan Taj expressed deep concern over the incident. He condemned all forms of harassment and misconduct. He said the council will take strict action if the आरोप are proven. He also reminded institutions to maintain active anti-harassment committees.
He urged students to report complaints without fear. He stressed that student safety and mental well-being must remain a top priority. Authorities continue to investigate the case as calls for accountability grow.
