On 11 October 2024, a fake news spread regarding the rape of a 17-year-old female HSSC-I ICS student at Punjab College Gulberg campus 10 in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan in the basement of the college building.[4][5][6][7] Allegedly, the victim was transferred to a nearby hospital and was said to have been shifted to the ICU in a critical condition.[8]
Massive protests erupted in the premises of the city, especially in the various campuses of PGC spread across Lahore.[9][5] On 14 October 2024, one of the two suspects, a security guard working for the college, was arrested by the Punjab Police from Sialkot, while the other suspect, a van driver, was missing.[10] Aurat March, a women's rights group, requested the Punjab Government to take actions against the "atrocity."[11][12] On the same day, the registration of the college was suspended on the orders of the Provincial Minister of School Education Punjab Rana Sikandar Hayat.[13]
