Mumbai: About 10 students from Delhi University’s Bharati College alleged that they were secretly filmed while changing in the IIT-Delhi washroom for a fashion show during the institute’s ongoing fest, police said on Saturday.
The girls alleged that the administration didn’t take action against the accused even after being informed. The accused, a 20-year-old contractual sweeper, was arrested.
The girls from Bharti College’s Elantra Society stated in a video posted online that the administration did not punish the guilty despite being informed.
A 20-year-old contract sweeper was arrested after the event was reported to the Kishangarh police station, according to the police.
A senior police officer was reported by PTI in its report as saying, “Today, a complaint was received through X at Kishangarh police station regarding making a video in the ladies restroom of IIT-Delhi by a boy.”
According to the official, a complaint was made on Saturday under Section 354C (voyeurism) of the Indian Penal Code, and the accused, a contract sweeper, was apprehended and transported to jail.
Additionally, he mentioned that more research is being done.
IIT-Delhi issued a statement at the same time claiming that the incident was immediately reported to authorities and that the institute has “zero tolerance” for similar incidents.
“The accused, in an unfortunate and regrettable incident, on October 6, was immediately handed over to the Delhi Police which is investigating the matter.
