A 26-year-old model, Anam Tanoli, was found dead in her home in Lahore's Defence area on Saturday, police said.
Her body was found hanging — in what was suspected to be a suicide by police — and shifted to Lahore General Hospital for post-mortem examination.
According to the statement by her family to the police, she had recently been under mental stress. Moreover, the model-cum-fashion designer reportedly had an appointment scheduled for the same day with a therapist.
Police said that Tanoli had returned to Pakistan from Italy a few months ago.
The hospital officials later confirmed that Tanoli had committed suicide, police said, adding that they have recorded the statement of the victim's mother.

Doubt many will buy the suicide story. Another Pakistani girl was killed by her family for honour. This case should be thoroughly checked.

Poor girl. Yet another woman with a strong public image and persona murdered by those beastly men who cannot tolerate this. Will we ever change as a society?

Some people of the society( Urban & Rural) they always want to suppress "Women's Rights" also they will decide their destiny, what women will do or what don't. This must be stopped all over the country. Anam Tanoli is the burning incident and this will happening again and again if not the ruling government (PTI) take powerful steps against it.

The pressure to conform in conservative societies can take a heavy toll on those who challenge traditions and mores.

the liquor bottles discovered by CJP in a hospital jail in Karachi were determined to be oil and honey in the lab. Now it was ruled that Anam committed suicide???? Does it mean that there is no justice for poor persons and no punishment for rich in Pakistan??

I wonder if there is more to the story : It was not suicide !. probably the model / girl was killed by strangulation and afterwards the dead body was left hanging by killers. It was found hanging.
