Lahore, Dec 8 (ANI): Lahore University students thrashed an intelligence official who was found capturing films of female protestors outside the district jail.

A female student, requesting anonymity, told the Daily Times that the man had made their movie two days ago when they were protesting in front of the Lahore Press Club.

She said they had seen him several times at protests, adding that the man was again making a movie of female students.

Another female student said that due to the emergency rule they were concerned about their security, and that they had given fake names to organisers of the protests.

She said the university administration was pressurising female students not to join the protests. Police officials were asking them to take action against the female students, they added.

Taking all this into consideration, some male students beat up the official and snatched the battery of his video camera.

The battery was later handed back on the request of Model Town Division Superintendent of Police (SP), Imran Ahmad. (ANI)
