Indian university suspends classes after violent protests over alleged rape

Indian university suspends classes amid campus unrest

The administration of Lovely University announced that Indian university suspends classes for ↓ 10 days following a wave of violent protests sparked by alleged rape claims that officials deny.

Students demand accountability

Hundreds of students gathered outside the main gate, chanting and brandishing placards. “We will not be silenced,” a protest leader told Reuters. The demonstrators claim the alleged incident reflects deeper safety failures on campus.

“The university must act transparently,” said a faculty member, urging an independent inquiry.

Police presence has increased, and local authorities warn of potential escalation. The suspension aims to defuse tensions, but critics argue it may embolden further unrest.

Correction: An earlier dispatch misstated the suspension length as 7 days; the correct period is 10 days.
