“An FIR has been lodged against unknown people and we have started investigations,” joint commissioner of police Amulya Patnaik said.

The university has expelled two male students and rusticated another for their involvement in the case after an internal inquiry.

“The university’s probe report and a complaint was forwarded to the Delhi Police, on which the FIR was registered on Thursday against unknown people,” deputy commissioner of Police HGS Dhaliwal said.

The expulsion and rustication were part of the recommendations of the inquiry conducted by chief proctor HB Bohidar into the making and distribution of the clip, which was shot last year in April in Tapti hostel.

One of the expelled boys figured in the tape, while the other has been held responsible for duplication of its content, the report said. “The third boy has been rusticated for providing the room to the girl and the boy. However, he was reportedly unaware of the filming of the video,” added the report. The girl was unaware of being filmed, the report said.
