The FIA ​​launches a survey into suicide cases in Lahore’s top educational institutions

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has constituted three specialized investigation teams to investigate alarming incidents of harassment, alleged abuse and the recent suicide of female students in several leading educational institutions in Lahore.

These incidents, which took place at Punjab Group of Colleges, Lahore College for Women University and Punjab University, have led to protests across the province.

The FIA ​​Director General directed the formation of these teams in response to mounting public pressure and widespread student demonstrations demanding accountability.

The investigation aims to address concerns about the safety of female students and ensure justice is served.

According to FIA officials, the most poignant of these incidents was the suicide of a female student at the Punjab University hostel. In a separate case, a female student at the Lahore College for Women University reported being harassed.

Moreover, a case of alleged rape of a female student at the Punjab Group of Colleges has sparked widespread outrage, leading to student protests across the province.

In an official statement, the FIA ​​revealed that the investigation teams are tasked with identifying and arresting those responsible, as well as coordinating efforts with the Cyber ​​Crimes Zonal Office. Ayesha Agha Khan, the Additional Director of the FIA, will oversee the entire operation and ensure prompt action.

The research will be divided among three specialized teams. A seven-member team, led by Deputy Director of Immigration Muhammad Sulaiman Liaquat, will handle the case of the Punjab Group of Colleges. A six-member team led by Kashif Mustafa, deputy director of the Corporate Crime Circle, has been formed for the incident at Punjab University.

Meanwhile, a four-member team led by Commercial Bank Circle Deputy Director Malik Sikandar Hayat will look into the issue of harassment at the Lahore College for Women University.

The FIA ​​has pledged to thoroughly investigate every case and hold those responsible to account, as public outrage over student safety continues to grow.
