‘Leaked videos’ row at Punjab’s private varsity: Students end protest after police ensures fair probe
Students at a private university in Punjab’s Gharuan early Monday ended their protest, which erupted after allegations that a woman student leaked some objectionable videos of fellow students, said the police.
Kharar (I) Deputy Superintendent of Police Rupinder Kaur Sohi confirmed to The Indian Express that the protest has ended. The students ended their protest after the district and university administrations assured them that their demand for a fair probe will be fulfilled. The protest ended at around 2 am and the students vacated the protest site by 3.30 am.
The massive protest was held by students at the university campus Sunday after the incident came to light. The students were demanding a fair probe and raised questions over the university authorities claiming the accused woman did not film any other girl. They questioned the authorities’ claim without a forensic report.
Chandigarh University authorities could not be contacted for a comment on the demands accepted by the administration.
A S Kang, Dean of Student Welfare, Chandigarh University, had said Sunday the accused woman did not film any other student. Late at night, the police arrested two people from Himachal Pradesh.
The students had been demanding a copy of the FIR, the women students who were taken to the hospital be produced before them, and also raised questions over the working of hostel wardens.
Many students left for their homes as the university was closed.
