Three people arrested in the investigation into violence around Lovely Professional University were produced before a court on October 1 and sent to police custody for three days, according to The Statesman and PTI. Reports identified one as a university student and the other two as local residents. The custody decision is separate from earlier developments concerning classes and the High Court’s request for a status report. Later reports give differing overall arrest totals; this report covers the three-person remand decision without treating three as a final total.
Police say digital material helped identify people allegedly involved in the unrest and that the investigation is continuing. The sexual-assault claim around which the protests began remains unverified in the checked reporting. An inquiry into that claim and cases concerning violence, arson or road obstruction must not be treated as a single established account.
The Statesman reported a relative’s concern that the family of one arrested man had not initially been informed and learned of his detention through his telephone call before the court appearance. That account is attributed to the relative. Remand permits further investigation; it does not establish that an accused person committed an offence or settle the underlying allegation.
