LAHORE – A special committee formed to investigate the alleged assault of a student at a private college in Lahore has submitted its report to Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz.
Sources indicate that the report found no evidence of the alleged assault within the college, nor were there any eyewitnesses to the incident.
The sources said that the committee interviewed approximately 28 students, and those interviewed mentioned that they had only heard about the incident from others.
The sources further stated that the college administration failed to manage the situation effectively, and the principal had little control over the students.
