Students of Chandigarh University began protesting on the university campus in Mohali from the night of September 17 onwards amid claims by students that a female hostel resident had taken multiple films of other female students in the shared bathroom.

Some students even claimed that the videos were uploaded to the internet by a friend of the accused student. The university authorities, however, dismissed these allegations as “false and baseless”.

The Punjab police have registered a case and three persons – including the accused student – have been arrested so far. The students ended their protest on September 19, Monday, after they received assurances from the police that the incident would be thoroughly probed.
