The ministry's statement expresses deep concern over the incident, emphasizing the need to address violence against women and create a safer environment for students. It highlights that this unfortunate event underscores a broader issue of gender-based violence, which requires urgent action from both authorities and society at large. The ministry calls on law enforcement agencies to conduct a thorough investigation to ensure that those responsible are swiftly brought to justice.
