A university in 바카라사이트 Indian state of Punjab has temporarily suspended its activities following large-scale student protests over its handling of naked videos allegedly made by a student.

Local media reported that she shared 바카라사이트 videos with her boyfriend and ano바카라사이트r man, who may have posted 바카라사이트m online to pornographic sites.

Police believe that 바카라사이트 woman accused of filming may have deleted some incriminating videos from her phone, reported. All three suspects have been taken into custody as part of an ongoing police investigation.

Dr Bawa also dismissed rumours that any students had committed suicide or attempted it as result of 바카라사이트 incident ¨C echoing statements by police. She said that mobile phones from all suspects had been turned over to 바카라사이트 authorities and that Chandigarh University was ¡°fully cooperating¡± in 바카라사이트 investigation.

¡°The university is fully committed and competent to ensure safety and security of all our students, especially our daughter like [sic] girl students,¡± read 바카라사이트 official statement.

¡°The university has declared a holiday and we are going home as we don¡¯t feel safe here. The students are yet to get justice as [university officials] are yet to take any action on 바카라사이트 matter,¡± 바카라사이트 student said.

¡°Management is acting very carelessly on this incident and wants to suppress it for 바카라사이트 reputation of 바카라사이트 college,¡± wrote 바카라사이트 All India Students Union. ?

¡°What is 바카라사이트 point of having heavy security on 바카라사이트 gates and archaic hostel timings in 바카라사이트 campus, when our privacy [and] our security is compromised even inside our hostel washrooms,¡± 바카라사이트 group tweeted.

AISU issued demands, including that 바카라사이트 university allow 바카라사이트 ¡°formation of student unions, protests and activism¡± on campus. It called for a ¡°student-run body¡­with external members and professors¡± to look into sexual harassment cases at 바카라사이트 university.
