Lahore: At least 27 people suffered multiple injuries after students clashed with a college’s security team and then with the police in Lahore during a protest against the alleged on-campus rape of a girl on Monday.
According to Rescue 1122 officials, the injured were provided first aid and shifted to hospitals. A day ago, a security guard was arrested after news related to the alleged rape of the student went viral on social media.
