Stir continues at Chandigarh University over leaked objectionable videos #IndiaNEWS #India
Chandigarh: Donning black T-shirts, students of Chandigarh University in Punjabs Mohali district continued to protest demanding justice over the alleged leaked objectionable videos on Sunday.
Following protests by the students on Saturday night, a female MBA student of the private university was arrested by the police on Sunday morning on charges of making an objectionable video.
She has also been accused of filming her fellow hostellers and making the videos viral.
As the matter drew angry political reactions, the university authorities clarified that no videos were found of any student which are objectionable, except a personal video shot by a girl which she shared with her boyfriend.
Also dismissing reports of suicide attempt by some students who were allegedly filmed, the authorities said there are rumours that seven girls have committed suicide whereas the fact is that no girl has taken any such step.
Senior Superintendent of Police Vivek Soni, who is leading the investigation team, categorically told the media that no attempt to suicide was reported after the incident came to light. Also, he said, so far there is no evidence of the video going viral.
As per the investigation, the accused made her own video and shared it with her boyfriend. There is no video of other students made by her. There is no evidence of that so far. A lot of misinformation and rumours are doing the rounds. We should respect the modesty of the accused student as we are investigating the matter, he said.
Soni appealed to the people and the students to maintain calm and help the police probe the matter.
As per reports, the accused hosteller sent nude images and videos to her male friend in Shimla, resulting in the footage being circulated online.
As the news spread, a massive protest was staged on the university campus on Saturday night with scores of hostellers raising we want justice slogan.
The police had to resort to lathi charge to disperse the crowd.
Amid the raging controversy, Chandigarh University Pro-Chancellor R. S. Bawa said there are rumours that seven girls have committed suicide. No girl has attempted any such step. No girl has been admitted to the hospital, he said.
Another rumour is doing the rounds that 60 objectionable MMS clips have been found of different students. This is totally false and baseless. During the preliminary investigation conducted by the university, only one personal video was found which was shot by a girl who shared it with her boyfriend, Bawa said in a statement.
He added that all mobile phones and other materials have been handed over to the police for further investigation.
Meanwhile, terming the incident as unfortunate, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann ordered a high-level probe into the matter.
