After five protesting students were arrested, a demonstration against the biased behaviour of the province's police department was also held.

"The police force is being used against us," said the President of the FATA Students Organisation Shaukat Aziz. "The Inspector General of Police should direct the police to protect us, not use the force against us."

The protesting students have also demanded that the authorities take notice of the corruption in the FATA Development Authority.
