Students at Lovely Professional University (LPU) protest after allegations of a rape incident spread online, with some reports describing the claims as unverified. During the demonstration, students damage property, including window panes and other items, and in some cases set objects on fire.
Police respond with a heavy deployment and state that the reports are unfounded, adding that no such crime is recorded. In one account, protesters also block the Jalandhar–Phagwara national highway as they voice grievances. Some outlets note the unrest follows earlier student protests elsewhere in Punjab, including a separate incident connected to claims of suicides at Chitkara University.
While both outlets describe the protest actions and the police presence, they differ mainly in scope and detail: one mentions the specific highway blockade and the subsequent police measures, while the other focuses on social media videos and the immediate control of the situation.
