The accused guard has been arrested, and Deputy Inspector General (Operations) Faisal Karman confirmed that a special team was investigating after unverified reports surfaced. The college administration is reportedly cooperating with the investigation, in line with the Punjab Government’s “zero-tolerance” policy on violent crimes.
However, protesters accuse the administration of prioritizing the institution’s reputation over student safety and transparency, which has fueled outrage. The demonstration highlights ongoing concerns about campus safety and the need for transparency in handling such incidents at educational institutions.
