LAHORE: The King Edward Medical University (KEMU) has submitted a complaint with the local police to lodge a case against a newly-married couple for shooting their wedding photographs on its premises.

Initial inquiries suggested that on the day of the shoot, a man visited the varsity and, after introducing himself as a former graduate, asked the guards to let the couple in.

An official said the man told the guards the bride was his daughter and the couple wished to take some photographs in front of the historic 150-year-old building of the medical institute to make their wedding memorable.

A driver at the institute asked the guards to let the couple in for being relatives of a former graduate of the university.

The official said the photographer uploaded some of the pictures on social media, which went viral, inviting criticism on the KEMU management for allowing such an activity. He added the institute had suspended from service three employees, including the driver and two guards, for allowing the couple to conduct the photo shoot.

He further said the institute had also submitted a complaint with the police for action against the husband and wife and the four photographers involved.
