RAWALPINDI: Students of a private college located in Kotli Sattian complained to the assistant commissioner on Friday about the administration of their college for physically and mentally torturing them and making them clean the washrooms.

When the assistant commissioner arrived at the college, more than 30 female students gathered around and complained against the administration, detailing its wrongdoings.

Students said when they refused to clean the toilets college staff tortured them, physically and mentally.

Assistant Commissioner Mehr Ansar Hayat confiscated dozens of batons from the college and wrote a letter to the district officer education asking him to take action against the college administration.

When EDO Qazi Zahoorul Haq was contacted, he gave no response.
