Lahore: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on Wednesday dismissed social media rumours related to the alleged on-campus rape of a student in Lahore, terming it a "fabricated story".

Speaking at a press conference in Lahore, the chief minister said that an issue was made out of an incident that never existed in the first place.

Last week, news related to the alleged rape of the student went viral on social media, prompting the police to arrest a security guard at the college. According to a police statement, the suspect had been arrested and an investigation was underway.

Maryam Nawaz said that she had ordered a crackdown on those spreading fake news that the girl had been allegedly raped at a private college in Lahore.
