LPU Student Protest Turns Violent in Phagwara: Classes Suspended for 10 Days, SIT Probes Alleged Sexual Assault
Student protests at Lovely Professional University (LPU) in Phagwara, Punjab, escalated into violence on September 27 after students raised allegations of sexual assault involving a female student. The unrest involved property damage, arson, clashes with police and a prolonged blockade of NH-44. Police have registered an FIR against an unidentified person and formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the allegation. LPU, however, has denied that the reported assault took place and has described the claims as unverified rumours.
