As per the documentation, on October 2, the student was admitted to General Hospital, where a CT scan revealed no significant damage.

She was checked on October 3 at a private clinic by a neurosurgery specialist. She was brought to a private hospital in Model Town on October 4 after claiming to have neck pain, according to the record.

She was kept in the hospital for eight days, during which time an MRI confirmed the doctor’s diagnosis that the pain was coming from a nerve injury from a fall.

An earlier investigation into misinformation on social media about an alleged rape event at a private college in Lahore was launched by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) with the participation of a seven-member commission.

When false information about the “rape” case at Lahore College appeared on social media and disturbed public order, the FIA squad took action.

Previous to this, Maryam Nawaz, the Chief Minister of Punjab, had established a high-level committee to look into the claims of “rape” made against a female student at a private college.

The announcement states that the chief secretary of Punjab will serve as the chair of the six-member committee. The committee’s members will be the secretaries of specialised healthcare, higher education, advocacy general of Punjab, and home affairs.

Refuting any such occurrence, the father of a girl who was allegedly assaulted by a security officer at a private institution said that the ongoing rallies in his daughter’s honour are baseless.

“Protests are being based on our daughter, but they have nothing to do with her,” he claimed. He clarified that his daughter had fallen at home, breaking her back and requiring an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) hospitalisation.

“We have given the police our daughter’s medical reports,” he continued, looking shocked after seeing video of the protests involving his daughter. “People who are mothers can relate to this suffering,” he underlined.
