LAHORE: The police have arrested two students of the Punjab University involved in harassing a female classmate.
Girl’s brother lodged a complaint three days ago that his sister was kidnapped at gunpoint allegedly by her two classmates from the Campus Bridge a month ago. The suspects took her to some undisclosed location and attempted to rape her. The suspects also tore her clothes and captured the footage.
Later, the suspects continued to blackmail her for a month asking her to meet them otherwise they would upload the videos on social media. She remained silent but later reported the matter to the family. The Muslim Town police registered a case under sections 376, 365, 509 (ii), 511, 506 and 34 of the PPC.
Iqbal Town SP Tanvir Raza told Dawn that the suspects were arrested and handed over to the investigation wing.
He said the incident took place outside the Punjab University but the alleged victim and suspects were both students of the university.
Chief Minister Usman Buzdar took notice of the incident and sought a report from the police. He said the suspects did not deserve any concession.
