MULTAN: A wave of protests has swept through the Muhammad Nawaz Sharif University of Agriculture (MNSUA) following the tragic death of Minahil, a 5th-semester Biochemistry student, who died in a motorcycle accident involving a university bus. The incident occurred Monday morning, sparking outrage among students.
According to university sources, Minahil, 21, collided with the bus while riding her motorcycle near the campus. Witnesses say she lost control of the bike and was tragically run over by the bus, resulting in her instant death. Her body was later transferred to Nishtar Hospital. Rescue 1122 confirmed the details of the accident, while Shah Shams Police Station House Officer (SHO) Rao Mehtab stated that the victim’s father, Shaban, chose not to file an official complaint.
In the aftermath of the accident, students gathered outside the university, chanting slogans and calling for increased safety measures on campus. Tensions escalated as they demanded accountability from the university administration for the safety of students, many of whom regularly commute by motorbike.
University officials responded swiftly, closing the campus for two days in mourning for Minahil. The university spokesperson, Riaz Hiraj, expressed deep sorrow over the loss, describing the closure as a mark of respect for the deceased student. “This is a devastating tragedy. The entire university community is grieving,” he said.
The bus driver involved in the accident, identified as Amir, has been suspended while investigations into the incident continue. The university administration has shared CCTV footage of the accident with the victim’s family, which reportedly shows Minahil losing control of her motorcycle. Her father, after viewing the footage, acknowledged that the bus driver was not at fault.
It was also revealed that Minahil had been involved in a previous accident a month earlier in the Cantt area, where she had sustained severe injuries on the same motorcycle.
Despite this, the protests have only grown in intensity, with students calling for improved safety protocols and better traffic management around the campus to prevent further accidents. As the university mourns the tragic loss, calls for reform and accountability continue to echo through the halls of MNSUA.
