    According to police, a young female student of Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi was allegedly lured into a relationship by her classmate, who then raped her at her flat located within the jurisdiction of Shams Colony Police Station.

    Police sources said the accused not only sexually assaulted the student but also secretly recorded videos of the act using hidden cameras. The suspect later allegedly blackmailed the victim, threatening to leak the videos and images on social media if she refused to continue meeting him.

    The accused has been identified as Muhammad Faizan, son of Zubair Ali.

    Following the victim’s formal complaint, Shams Colony police have registered a case and launched an investigation. Officials say efforts are underway to recover digital evidence and arrest the suspect.

    The incident has reignited a broader debate about student safety, misuse of trust, and the apparent rise in gender-based violence linked to educational institutions across Pakistan. Rights activists and students are increasingly questioning why university-based incidents are being reported with alarming frequency and what measures authorities and administrations are taking to prevent them.

    Police have assured that the case will be investigated on merit and that the accused will be dealt with according to law.

    This is a developing story.
