The video of a nursing college student with a bandaged wrist and a branula sticking on one hand has been circulated widely on social media. The girl claims to have tried to take her own life due to the Principal’s verbal abuse. Syeda Iman Fatima claims to be a student of Public Health at Lahore’s Fatima Jinnah Nursing College.
She allegedly attempted suicide after being harassed by the college principal. In the video, she is seen saying that her principal used abusive words for her and demoralized her by objecting to her character. “It’s not just me, she behaves the same with all the students.
I couldn’t tolerate this, so I went to my room and tried committing suicide,” Imaan says in her statement. She also claims that she stayed in the hospital for one whole day, but the college administration did not call her parents despite her requests. The student pleaded to Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz to intervene.
“It has been five to six months that Madam [principal] has been doing this.” Geo reports that DG Nursing Tahira Sagheer said that the first-year nursing student tried to commit suicide due to the inappropriate words and harassment of the college principal, but fellow nurses stopped the student from cutting her wrist. She confirmed that the student belongs to Gujranwala and has requested leave from the principal.
“An application has been submitted by the student to the health secretary, and a hearing will be held with him tomorrow,” she said. The principal, student and eyewitness nurses have been called in, and action will be taken if the allegations are proven to be true, DG Nursing stressed.
