The hostel resident said the college management is attempting to suppress the allegations. She provided a preliminary estimate of the number of girls sleeping in the hostel facility, stating that there are 20 rooms on one floor and that four girls share one room.

color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">Digital Desk: A Chandigarh University student
has been detained by the Punjab Police for reportedly posting offensive videos
of dormitory residents online. After hostel residents claimed their clips had
become viral, action was taken. According to the university, there was only one
"leaked" video, which was a private video that the defendant
transmitted to her partner in Shimla.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">On Saturday night, a large number of college
students protested, claiming offensive videos had been made public. Students
who were protesting said that the suspect recorded videos of female students
while they were bathing in the dorm.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">The police intervened as the argument over
the leaked videos heated up and took the girl into custody. The police,
however, denied the protesting students' accusations that they had attempted
suicide.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">Here are the key points:
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">1) Shortly after the suspect was taken into
custody, Punjab Higher Education Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer mandated an
exhaustive investigation. Police say that no suicide attempts or fatalities
related to this incident have been reported.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">"According to medical data, neither a
suicide attempt nor a death has occurred. Anxiety was present in one of the
students who was transported in an ambulance, and our team is in contact with
her, "said Vivek Soni, senior superintendent of police (SSP), Mohali.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">2) One of the pupils who confronted the
accused was a girl student, who revealed to a media house that the suspect had
filmed on her cellphone while using the restroom.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">"50–60 videos of hostel residents are
available. She [the accused] sent it to her pal. She acknowledged making the
video and later deleted it when we questioned her about the incident. The
student spoke with the press.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">3) The hostel resident said the college
management is attempting to suppress the allegations. She provided a
preliminary estimate of the number of girls sleeping in the hostel facility,
stating that there are 20 rooms on one floor and that four girls share one
room.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">4) The police, however, denied rumours that
MMS videos had been posted online and insisted there was just one video of the
accused. We haven't come across any other girl's similar video yet. According
to Mohali SSP Vivek Soni, it seems more like a rumour.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">The accused's cell phones have been taken and
will be forwarded for forensic analysis.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">5) The pro-chancellor of Chandigarh
University, RS Bawa, issued the following statement: "The rumour that 60
inappropriate MMS have been identified of students is absolutely incorrect and
baseless. Except for a girl's private film that she shared with her boyfriend,
no videos of students have been discovered during the university's early review
to be offensive.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">6) In response to the tragedy, Punjab Chief
Minister Bhagwant Mann announced that a high-level investigation had been
called for. "Sad to hear about the Chandigarh University event. Our pride
is in our daughters. We have ordered a high-level inquiry into the incident.
Whoever is guilty will face strict action. I am constantly in touch with the
administration. I appeal to all of you to avoid rumours. "
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">7) Harjot Singh Bains, the Minister of School
Education for Punjab, has urged the university's students to remain calm.
He declared that no one guilty would be spared.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">8) Punjab is ruled by Arvind Kejriwal, the
chief minister of Delhi, whose Aam Aadmi Party referred to the incident as
"shameful" and urged tolerance.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">9) The Punjab State Women's Commission was
also made aware of the situation. "There is an investigation going on. I'm
here to reassure all parents that the accused will not get away with anything,
"said Manisha Gulati, the commission's chair.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">10) An FIR under the IT Act has been
registered against the accused, who is currently in police custody.
color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">Further investigation into the matter is
underway.
