Violent protests broke out at Lovely Professional University (LPU) in Jalandhar, Punjab, on Saturday night over an alleged rape case and a student’s death by suicide. Students damaged university property, set parts of buildings on fire and blocked the Delhi-Amritsar highway around 4 am, demanding an FIR. Jalandhar Range DIG Naveen Singla said a student was allegedly raped three days ago and police had begun the process of registering a case. Police are also investigating the reported suicide of a Telangana student around two weeks ago. The university denied the circulating claims, calling them false and baseless. (PC: HT)
