FIA Investigates Fake News Surrounding Lahore College Rape Allegations

Lahore College Principal Condemns Misleading Online Reports

Lahore-(Tahir Chuhdary)-A high-powered committee formed by Punjab’s Chief Minister investigated an alleged rape incident at a private Lahore college. The committee, led by Punjab’s Interior Secretary, met the alleged victim and her parents at their home for three hours, recording their statements. They also interviewed 36 individuals, including college officials, students, and law enforcement personnel.

The committee’s preliminary report revealed that the student and her parents denied any rape incident occurred. They explained that the girl fell from her bed on October 2 and was hospitalized for respiratory issues. The family clarified that they were linked to the false incident on social media during her medical leave.

The student and her parents have requested police to register a case under the Cybercrime Act against those spreading false information.

The college principal expressed concerns over misleading online reports, sparking unnecessary panic. FIA officials assured that all resources would be employed to track down culprits, emphasizing that creating chaos through fake news is a serious crime.

– Principal College Dr. Sadia Javed
– ASP Gulberg Shah Rukh Khan
– Security Incharge Punjab College Gulberg Campus
– Rescue Officer Shahid
