Lovely Professional University postponed its mid-term examinations until further notice to ensure the safety and well-being of all students amid ongoing violent protests regarding an alleged sexual assault case on campus.
The university suspended regular classes for a period of 10 days starting September 28, 2026. Students were given the option to travel to their hometowns with their parents' consultation, or stay inside their hostels for safety.
The unrest began after a social media message went viral alleging that a female student had been raped. This prompted large crowds of students to gather, leading to campus vandalism and the blocking of major national highways.
