KARACHI – A female medical student was found hanging from a ceiling fan in the hostel of Chandka Medical College, Larkana, under suspicious circumstances. 

Police said that the door of her room was broken after she did not respond to the calls, and she was found dead inside it.

The girl named Nosheen Kazmir, who was a fourth-year medical student, was a resident of Dadu.

An investigation has been launched to ascertain where she had committed the suicide or it is a murder case.

Chandka Medical College Principal Gulzar Sheikh that the administration has also formed an inquiry committee into the matter.

Meanwhile, CMC students today (Thursday) staged a protest, demanding a transparent probe into the death of their fellow.

The parents send the girls to study & dead bodies r returned to their parents. After Naila & Nimrata,Noshin's parents have been given the body. Patriarchal society does not support girls' education. Does this system also exist in educational institutions? #JusticeForNosheenKazmi pic.twitter.com/z0qAC6y6kT
