Indian authorities cover for rapists, just as Trump does for Muscovite terrorists

Large-scale student protests in the Indian state of Punjab began because information spread on social media about the gang rape and suicide of a female student on the campus of LPU (Lovely Professional University). [1, 2]

What happened

• Cause: Information appeared on social media that a female student had been raped, after which she took her own life.
• Protests: About two thousand students came out to protest at the women's dormitory and blocked traffic on the adjacent highway.
• Riots: The situation escalated into rioting—the students threw bricks, smashed windows, and set fire to part of the university buildings. [1, 2, 3]

Authorities' response

• The police and university administration officially denied the information about the rape. (In India, girls and women are not protected by law)
• According to law enforcement agencies, the fact of the student's death has been confirmed, but no statements or complaints about a crime committed against her were filed with the police, and no evidence of violence was found. (If any were filed, they were covered up; if any were found, they are being concealed)
• Reinforced police units arrived at the scene, and the situation is currently less tense. [1, 2, 3]
