Police arrest 19 during raid at dance party at government school in Punjab

A controversial birthday celebration at a government high school in the suburban area of "5-Kassi", Kabirwala, Punjab, led to a police raid and multiple arrests.

According to reports, Sohail Bhatti, a first-year student, organized the event on the school premises.

Allegedly with the involvement of school staff, a dance party was arranged on the occasion of the student's birthday.

A sound system was set up and a live dance performance (mujra) was initiated. Upon receiving complaints from local residents, police from the Sadar Police Station conducted a raid at the school.

During the raid, two female dancers and 17 other attendees were taken into custody, bringing the total number of arrests to 19. Police confirmed that legal proceedings are underway against those involved.

A case of the incident is also been lodged. 

The incident has raised serious concerns about the lack of oversight and irresponsible behavior of school administration.

Questions are now being asked about the conduct of the principal and staff. The event also highlights parental negligence, as students remain unsupervised during school hours.
