Singer Nouman Javaid injured in car accident

Family members deny attempted suicide speculations

LAHORE ': Lahore-based-singer Nouman Javaid sustained multiple injuries in a car accident in Lahore. The 34-year-old was brought to Ittefaq hospital on Friday night and was immediately admitted in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU). After going through intense treatment, the singer was discharged last night, hospital sources told The Express Tribune.

However, a number of his friends in the entertainment industry have termed it a suicide attempt, owing to the’ struggles’ he was going through in his personal life. The hospital’s administrative staff did not corroborate the claim.

“We can’t give you any details about how it happened, all we can tell you is that he was hospitalised in our facility for two days, due to severe injuries and has now been discharged,” a member of the administrative staff of the hospital told The Express Tribune, requesting anonymity.

Another source in the nursing staff however, confirmed the suspicion of Javaid’s friends and said that the suicide was being kept a secret upon his family’s request.  “It was a clear case of suicide but no one has been allowed say anything in this matter. It was treated like a suicide case and nothing else,” the nursing staff member at the Surgical ICU told The Express Tribune.

Javaid’s family refused to give any details on his health or the accident. “It is a strictly private matter and my father has not allowed me to say anything to anyone. I am sorry I can’t even tell you the name of the hospital,” Javaid’s sister told The Express Tribune.

Javaid’s wife, singer Fariha Parvez also refused to comment on the matter and her brother spoke on her behalf, “You should ask Noman what happened to him and not Fariha,” he said.

Javaid and Fariha got married earlier this year in an intimate ceremony after seeing each other for a while.



Noman came to the forefront of the music scene in 2009 after his solo track Darde-Tanhai made it to Bollywood with the film Jashnn. Since then, he has released several singles and collaborated on songs with Fariha.
