Protests erupted at Lovely Professional University (LPU) in Phagwara, Punjab, early Sunday after reports circulated that a female student had allegedly been raped on campus by an outsider. Students gathered in large numbers, blocked the Jalandhar-Phagwara highway and damaged parts of university property. Videos showed one student climbing onto a decommissioned Indian Air Force MiG-23UM aircraft displayed on campus, while around 10 students climbed onto a military tank. Police registered an FIR against an unknown person and formed a Special Investigation Team to investigate the allegation. LPU authorities, however, denied the circulating claims and called them false and baseless.
