Tensions escalated at a university campus in Punjab as students staged protests and blocked a major highway to demand accountability regarding the death of a female student. Demonstrators claim the student was sexually assaulted by a construction worker employed on the campus grounds. According to protesters, university authorities allegedly sent the student home following the incident, after which she died by suicide.

The situation remains fluid as students continue to express outrage over the administration's handling of the situation. While the protest has disrupted local traffic and campus operations, official statements from university leadership or law enforcement regarding the specific details of the alleged assault or the subsequent death have not yet been fully reconciled with the claims made by the student body. The protesters are calling for a transparent investigation into the university's conduct and the circumstances surrounding the student's death.
