India news LIVE updates, 28 September 2026: LPU suspends classes for 10 days, postpones exams as protests turn violent
On September 28, 2026, Lovely Professional University (LPU) in Phagwara suspended classes for 10 days and postponed mid-term examinations after violent protests erupted over an alleged rape incident. The protests began early Sunday when students claimed a girl was sexually assaulted on campus by an "outsider." Police registered a rape FIR against an unidentified person but stated preliminary investigations could not confirm the allegation.
Three students in the room where the assault was reported denied the incident. In response to the violence, which included property damage, arson, and a blockade of NH-44, LPU advised students to stay in hostels or travel home. The university suspended classes and postponed exams indefinitely, claiming the claim was "false and fabricated."
