In a new development surrounding the PGC incident involving a first-year student’s alleged assault, the family has issued a public statement via video, attempting to clear the air about the situation.
In a video statement alongside ASP Shehrbano Naqvi, the father of the PGC student at the center of the alleged assault controversy has denied the claims. He explained that his daughter had not been assaulted by a security guard, as rumors suggested, but had instead sustained a back injury after slipping at home, which required her to be hospitalized in the ICU. The family expressed their surprise at the protests and social media outcry, clarifying that they are not associated with the protests being held in support of their daughter.
The father also shared that the family provided medical reports to the authorities to confirm the nature of his daughter’s injury. ASP Shehrbano Naqvi urged the public to stop spreading false information, highlighting the emotional toll it could take on the family and asking for respect during this time.
Public Outrage Continues Despite Clarification
Despite the release of the family’s video message, the wave of public outrage shows no signs of dying down, highlighting the powerful influence of youth activism in today’s society. Social media platforms remain abuzz with posts, comments, and calls for action, as students and the public continue to question the inconsistencies in the narrative. Many are frustrated that it took nearly a week for the family to issue a statement, leading to suspicions about whether the clarification was influenced or delayed intentionally. The fact that the family wore masks in the video has further fueled speculation, with many questioning why anonymity was sought if there was no wrongdoing. Adding to this, allegations of the college’s CCTV footage being erased have only intensified demands for transparency.
The youth, driven by a sense of justice and accountability, are using their digital presence to amplify their voices, organize protests, and hold institutions to account. This incident has sparked conversations not just about this particular case but also about the larger issues of student safety, abuse of authority, and transparency in educational spaces. The youth’s strong response has made it clear that they won’t be silenced until they receive clarity and justice, demonstrating the growing power of youth-led movements in shaping public discourse and pushing for systemic change.
With the nation rallying behind the victim and the hashtag trending, pressure is mounting on officials to act quickly and ensure that justice is served. The protests are growing stronger, with students refusing to back down until those responsible are brought to justice, and the safety of students in educational institutions is taken seriously.
This is a developing story.
