Alleged Sexual Assault Reported At NUST, Admin Terms Accusations 'Shameless'

According to reports on social media, a sexual assault allegedly took place on the premises of National University of Science and Technology (NUST) in Islamabad.

A social media user tweeted about reports of a sexual assault on the premises of a campus at one of the biggest universities in Islamabad. She added that the administration was trying to bury the matter by silencing students who were demanding an investigation. She added in a subsequent tweet that last summer, a similar incident occurred and the victim had been silenced.

Another user made a similar tweet and said that students from the university who attended to discuss the matter should avoid naming the institution as they had signed a non-defamatory clause.

One user replied to the aforementioned tweet that the incident occurred in H12, in which NUST is located.

One user stated that the rape occurred in NUST, and the administration was trying to cover it up as they did not consider the life of the girl to be important.



The complete details are yet unknown. However, a user tweeted that a student, who was unwilling to talk about the incident publicly on social media, inboxed her to reveal the details about the incident. The student said that the girl was raped behind the girls' hostel by a construction worker.

Meanwhile, in a tweet from its official account, NUST indicated that the rape accusations were fabricated and that rape allegations ruined lives. It added in another tweet that the recent tweets about alleged rape were a heinous attempt to defame the university.
