An Indian university has suspended classes for 10 days following violent protests linked to allegations of rape on campus, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
The report identifies the institution as Lovely University, which took the decision amid unrest that erupted over the allegations. According to Al Jazeera, officials at the university have denied the rape allegations that triggered the demonstrations.
Details on the scale of the protests, the number of people involved, or any injuries or arrests were not included in the available report. It is also unclear from the source material what specific incident prompted the allegations or when it is said to have occurred.
University suspensions of this kind are sometimes used to allow tensions to ease and give administrators time to investigate incidents that have sparked unrest.

Further updates on the situation, including any response from law enforcement or the outcome of the allegations, were not available at the time of this report.
