Hyderabad: An engineering college in Telangana witnessed protests over the girls’ hostel video scandal.
The college, which is located in Medchal, witnessed protests following shocking allegations of private videos being secretly recorded in the hostel washroom.
The incident has sparked outrage among students. They raised serious concerns about safety and privacy on campus.
As per the protesters, around 300 private videos were secretly recorded over the past three months.
Students suspect that hostel workers may be involved in the crime. It is also alleged that the college management tried to suppress the matter and warned the students of severe consequences if they spoke out.
Following the incident, members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and college students organized a protest on the Telangana engineering college premises over the girls’ hostel video scandal.
The protesters are demanding a thorough investigation and strict action against those responsible for this violation.
In order to manage the escalating tensions, local police reached the spot.
According to Medchal ACP Srinivas Reddy, the case of negligence on part of the college’s management was clear, as workers cooking food in the hostel were having close access to the ventilator of the girls’ bathroom in the hostel.
He, however, said that no evidence of any videos recorded were found yet, and that the finger prints of the five suspects taken into custody, were also taken.
He said that the cell phones seized were sent for forensic examination, where even if any videos were deleted, will be retrieved.
Authorities have assured the students that the matter will be investigated and justice will be served.
