Massive overnight protest on Chandigarh University campus

Students of the university staged a massive protest all night after the incident came to light and the authorities reportedly did not act, as claimed by the students. A girl student was found guilty of filming other girls in the bathroom while bathing. It is alleged that she sent those videos to a boy in Shimla who uploaded those on the internet. As the incident came to the fore, the girl reportedly admitted to having committed the crime, but protesting students claimed that the authorities were trying to suppress the incident. Police came at night to handle the situation and took the accused into custody.

Viral videos, rumours, claims

While all politicians are urging utmost caution, many rumours, unverified videos, and screenshots of chats are doing the rounds on the internet. It was earlier rumoured that some of the girls whose leaked videos went viral attempted to commit suicide. Mohali SSP Vivek Soni said these are all rumours and according to medical reports, no such incident took place.
