Earlier this week, a violent clash broke out on the campus of Lovely Professional University in Punjab. Witnesses reported that assailants entered the premises wearing masks and brandishing iron rods. The confrontation escalated when the attackers set fire to several structures within the campus.
The use of iron rods and flames caused significant property damage, and the incident disrupted academic activities for the remainder of the day. Students and staff were evacuated to safer areas while emergency services responded to the scene.
Local authorities have launched an investigation into the motive behind the attack and are working to identify the perpetrators. Police have secured the perimeter and are collecting evidence to determine how the assault was carried out.
The university administration has urged students to remain calm and has announced that classes will resume once the campus is deemed safe. Officials are also reviewing security protocols to prevent a recurrence of such violent incidents.
