“I am in touch with the administration,” Mann said, urging people not to believe in rumours. According to police, students of a private university in Punjab’s Mohali protested “rumours” that some objectionable videos of several girl students were recorded.
The protest took place after midnight at the Chandigarh University campus on the Ludhiana-Chandigarh road. According to Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police Vivek Sheel Soni, during preliminary investigation, it is learned that one of the apprehended students had shared her video with someone from Himachal Pradesh, whose role is also being probed.
He said an FIR was registered under IPC section 354-C (voyeurism) and the IT Act and the student was arrested. The university administration has denied reports that videos of several girl students were created and shared on social media. Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal has said that those involved in the incident will face severe punishment.
“At Chandigarh University, a girl recorded objectionable videos of several girl students and made them viral. This is very serious and shameful. All the culprits involved in this will get the harshest punishment. Victims should have courage. We are all with you. Everyone should work with patience,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.
