According to the initial post-mortem report of student Noshin Kazmi, who was found dead in Chandka Medical College hostel on November 25 in Larkana, she died by hanging.
According to police, Noshin’s body was found hanging from a fan in Room No. 47 on the first floor of Hostel No. 2 of Chandka Medical College on the afternoon of November 25.
Saeed Ahmed, SHO of the concerned police station, said that a separate SIM was also recovered along with Noshin’s mobile phone which was sent for forensics. Noshin Kazmi, a fourth-year student at Benazir Bhutto Medical University’s Chandka Medical College, was buried in her ancestral graveyard in Dadu.
Noshin’s father Syed Hidayat Ali Shah is the Deputy Director of Child Protection in the Social Welfare Department of Dadu District of Sindh while Nana Ustad Bukhari was a renowned poet of Sindh. The Medical Officer of Chandka Medical College Dr. Rakhsar Samu has released the preliminary autopsy report of Noshin Kazmi.
According to a copy of the report received by Independent Urdu, his death occurred by hanging. He had rope marks on his neck and bloodstains were found inside his lungs. The report clearly states that there were no signs of violence on his body.
According to the report, the body parts of the student have been sent to the government laboratory for chemical examination, after which the final post-mortem report will be released. The Vice-Chancellor of Benazir Bhutto Medical University said that they have formed a five-member fact-finding committee headed by Professor Safdar Ali Sheikh on the issue, which will report back in five days.
Nothing was a 46th batch student of Chandka Medical College. His classmate Dr. Imran Barero said that after the incident, all the students were informed by the Vice-Chancellor that Benazir Bhutto Medical University and all its affiliated medical colleges and hostels were being sealed. Empty your hostel.
Not only that but our exams were also postponed and it was said that a new date would be announced soon. Dr. Imran quoted Noshin as saying that she was very quiet. I’ve never seen them talk to anyone, not even the boys. I remember she was very veiled. She often covered her hands and feet.
No girl slept in the hostel all night out of fear
Noshin’s roommate, who hails from Quetta, said on condition of anonymity that Noshin was alone in the room at the time. When I tried to open the door of the room, the door was locked from inside.
The door did not open despite knocking, so I peeked out of the room window. I saw that Noshin’s body was hanging from the fan.
After that, I asked the girls around for help and the administration came and broke down the door. We saw that she was hanging from a fan and her legs were on the table. Everything was so scary that I spent the night in another girl’s dormitory room,” he said.
I can’t believe it happened. Nothing did say anything. She did not talk much and kept a canopy on her part of the room.
Dr. Saima, a resident of the ground floor of Hostel No. 2 and a classmate of Noshin, said, I was studying in my room that day. A senior beach girl came to us and told me that one of your beach mates had committed suicide upstairs.
When I arrived at Noshin’s room, there were already some girls and the door to the room was open.
He further said that after entering the room, I saw Noshin Kazmi in the same condition as they are showing in the pictures and videos.
Shortly after the administration came, they removed us from there. After seeing all this, we were all mentally disturbed and shocked. No one slept in the hostel that night. After Noshin Kazmi’s accident, there was fear in the hostel all night, no girl could sleep.
A separate SIM was also found with Noshin’s phone: police officials
DIG Larkana Mazhar Nawaz Sheikh said, “Police have obtained all the evidence related to the scene in this case and sent it to the forensics. However, it is too early to say anything about the death. He said that only after investigation will it be known if there is suicide then what were the reasons? He said that SSP Larkana Imran Qureshi and SSP Qambar Shahdadkot Dr. Sameer Noor Channa were themselves investigating the matter.
According to SHO Rehmanpur Police Station Saeed Ahmed, a note was also found from the body which said, “I am not under any pressure. I’m doing it on my own. He said that apart from this note, other notebooks, USBs, mobile phones,s, and a separate SIM were also recovered from the spot.
He said that the process of matching writing in notes and other notebooks was in progress. However, after the medical report came out, it became clear that this was a case of suicide. Nosheen’s fingerprints were also found on the fan from which the body was found hanging, while there was dust on his fingers which could be that of a fan.
We just need to know why he committed suicide.
Noshin’s father Syed Hidayatullah Shah said he was informed of his daughter’s death by the college administration over the phone. When we reached Larkana from Dadu, we were first taken to the hostel room where Noshin was in the same condition. After my permission, the body was taken down and then sent for autopsy.
I think there have been suicides at Chandka Medical College before. My daughter was very religious, I am sure she will not commit suicide, so I have many concerns about this incident. He said he did not want any JIT on the issue. If it’s really suicide, we just want to know why they did it.
It simply came to our notice then. We have not registered a case yet but if need be we will file a case.
One week ago, I had an engagement to my eldest daughter for whom Noshin had come home he said.
When I spoke to him the night before the incident, he did not say anything, he did not say anything disturbing. They can’t do that
‘Wrong to make photos and videos viral’
According to Advocate Nighat Dad, founder of the Digital Rights Foundation, sharing post-mortem photos and videos on the internet and especially on social media is highly insensitive and wrong. The right to privacy, the right to privacy belongs to anyone, whether it is a living person or a deceased person, it is associated with their dignity he said.
When people spread such images, even to inform the public, it violates the privacy of the deceased.
He asked how a person who has passed away could allow people to share their photos on social media.
According to Nighat, if anything is shared on the internet, its digital footprint stays on the internet forever. Social media platforms have a responsibility to remove such posts when they are reported
