22-year-old girl found dead at a Lahore hotel

LAHORE: A 22-year-old girl was found dead at a hotel located on Lahore's Mall Road after apparently having shot herself in an attempt to commit suicide, police said Friday.

Rabia Naseer, a student, today left her home for college, but arrived at a hotel located on Mall Road. CCTV footage showed the girl entering into the hotel listening to someone on phone.

Police said the girl went to the washroom in hotel's lobby and then a gunshot was heard. Duty staff found her body inside the washroom with a handgun lying close to it.

Hotel administration immediately took the girl to a hospital wherein the doctors pronounced her dead on arrival.

Officials found a handgun magazine, a pack of cigarettes and some cash from her bag. She sustained a single shot to the side of her head that went out through the other side.

Initial investigations suggest the incident to be a suicide, but the question is why she took this step at the hotel.

Family say Rabia was the only sister of four brothers and there seemed no reason for her to commit suicide. She was the captain of female cricket team at a local college and was also getting trained as a cricket coach these days.

Police, after handing over the body for autopsy, have kicked off investigations into the incident from different angles.
