"A thorough probe must be conducted to ascertain whether she was being subjected to caste-based discrimination. Following the probe, stern action must be initiated against the accused. After all, she was a daughter of Punjab and her case must be investigated to uncover the reality", Bajwa added. 

Bajwa said that it is very unfortunate and it is the darkest reality of a society that caste-based discrimination still exists in the 21st century.  

"Not just this institute, but the faculty members and students of all the educational institutes in the state must be sensitized on caste and religion-based discrimination to prevent such unpleasant incidents from happening in the future", LoP added.
