Lae city police are investigating a sexual assault incident at the Papua New Guinea University of Technology (PNGUOT) that went viral on social media, with four male students as possible suspects. Lae Police Metropolitan Commander, Superintendent Chris Kunyanba, said the Students Representative Council has not formally reported the case yet. Still, police have identified four suspects during early inquiries. “We are working with the SRC, campus security, and university management to stop such incidents,” Kunyanba said. Investigators are collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses. Once the suspects are confirmed, arrests will follow. “Students will be treated like any other citizens under the law,” he said. The victim has mental health challenges, which makes the crime more serious. “Such behaviour is unacceptable at a top institution like Unitech,” Kunyanba added. A video of the incident surfaced online on 9th August, showing a female being harassed by male students at the university. The university condemned the attack, calling it as “deeply disturbing.” Community leaders across the country have called for urgent action to protect women in educational institutions.
