An exchange of gunfire between police and car-snatchers created panic at a government-run girls college in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, earlier today.
Reports said the exchange of fire took place allegedly between a group of car-lifters and police near Waqar-un-Nissa Girls College, creating fright and panic in the vicinity and prompting family members of the students to throng to the institution.
However, security forces reached the scene and controlled the situation.
Although the college building was later searched and cleared by army troops, the panic led to closure of the academy.
Police said no incident of terrorism took place in the college.
