In light of the growing disinformation surrounding the case, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has established a seven-member committee within its Cyber Crime Cell. This committee is tasked with investigating those responsible for disseminating false narratives and inciting unrest related to the incident.
The family remains resolute in their quest for justice, aiming to hold accountable individuals who have exacerbated their daughter’s distress through these false claims.
In Lahore, students continue to protest over the accusations related to the alleged rape incident involving a security guard. The unrest began after social media reports suggested the assault occurred in a campus basement last week. Protests against harassment have spread to Lahore and other cities, leading to clashes with police that resulted in injuries to at least 28 students.
College students in Punjab’s provincial capital have pledged to persist in their demonstrations until effective safety measures are implemented on college campuses.
