Mumbai: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has ordered a high-level inquiry in the Chandigarh University in which a female student allegedly recorded about 60 girls taking baths in the girls’ hostel and shared them with a male friend who then posted the same on social media.

“Daughters are our honor, dignity, and pride and any such incident is highly condemnable,” the CM said. Also Read: Video Shows Hundreds Of Girls Protesting At Chandigarh University After Bathing Videos Leak

Mann said he is disheartened to find out about the occurrence and has asked the district administration to investigate the incident thoroughly.

The CM said no one found guilty of this heinous crime will be spared and strict action will be taken against the culprits. Mann said he is in steady touch with the area organization and checking what is going on.

The CM appealed to the people not to fall prey to the rumors being spread by anti-social elements. He warned that strict action would be taken against those spreading rumors regarding this sensitive issue.

Following protests in the campus of the private university located on the Ludhiana-Chandigarh road in SAS Nagar (Mohali), it was rumored that eight female students, whose videos were leaked, tried to commit suicide and one of them died.

However, the police denied that any of the students tried to commit suicide or died after the incident.

Addressing the press conference, Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Vivek Sheel Soni said that so far only one video has been found and it is of the accused himself.

“She (the accused) has not recorded any other video of anyone else. Electronic devices and mobile phones have been taken into custody and will be sent for forensic examination,” Soni said.

He said there had been no suicide attempt or death and clarified that the video of a student being taken in an ambulance was because he had an anxiety attack.

The SSP said that an FIR has been registered in the matter under Section 354-C (Visibility) of IPC and IT Act and a student has been arrested.

Meanwhile, Punjab Higher Education Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hare said that it was very sad to learn about the unfortunate incident at Chandigarh University.

“Since this matter is very sensitive, it is my request not to forward any unsubstantiated news. There is no news of suicide by any girl student. I assure justice to University students, especially girls. The DC Mohali and SSP have been ordered to conduct a thorough inquiry into the entire incident. Guilty would not be spared,” he added.
