At least 27 people were injured in Lahore after clashes erupted between students and a Punjab college’s security team during protests over an alleged on-campus rape. The incident came to light after the news of a student’s rape by a security guard went viral on social media. Although the suspect has been arrested and an investigation is underway, no FIR has been registered as the victim’s family has not yet come forward.
The protests, organized by enraged students mobilized online, saw violence break out at Hafeez Centre Punjab College Campus. Rescue officials reported that one student was critically injured and transferred to Services Hospital for treatment.
