At least 150 violent protesters were arrested in Rawalpindi after police used tear gas to disperse students protesting the alleged rape of a student from Lahore.
Last week, reports of the alleged assault on a student at a private college went viral on social media, leading to the arrest of a college security guard allegedly involved in the incident.
“Parents should keep a close watch on their children and keep them away from any illegal activities. A criminal record can ruin the future of students,” said Rawalpindi police in a post on social media platform ‘X’ formerly known as Twitter.
Punjab Chief (CM) Minister Maryam Nawaz said on Wednesday that the narrative surrounding the alleged rape case at a private college in Lahore is fabricated.
During a press conference in Lahore, she added that a false story has been transformed into a significant issue, one that never existed in reality.
