Alleged sexual assault scandal surfaces in DG Khan’s Ghazi University
An alleged incident of sexual assault has been reported in Dera Ghazi Khan’s Ghazi University. The purported case came to light after a video of the alleged victim was uploaded on X, formerly known as Twitter, by a user whose profile shows he is a journalist from Battagram.
“I will not further endure this and torch myself in the university if the vice chancellor did not take any action,” the victim said in a video uploaded on Monday. “I cannot endure this as the vice chancellor will be responsible for this.”
The victim introduced herself as Sana, a student of BS Physics, in the video which has so far garnered more than 2,000 views on the social media platform. She accused two staff members of harassment.
Sana claimed that the two teachers were blackmailing her and her younger sister. They have purportedly warned her against telling anything to two other teachers or department heads.
The police contacted the female student after the incident.
