LPU Students Protest Over Assault Allegations, Campus Vandalism Follows Video Dispute

Students at Lovely Professional University (LPU) in Punjab vandalised parts of the campus and set fire to sections of a building during protests. The unrest was triggered by unverified claims that a female student had been sexually assaulted and had subsequently died by suicide. The university released a video in which students appeared to deny the rape allegations, but those students later claimed the video was scripted. The incident has sparked a dispute between the university administration and students over the authenticity of the statements made on camera.
