A distressing incident has unfolded at Chandigarh University, where a 23-year-old female student has been arrested for allegedly creating and circulating objectionable videos of approximately 60 girls from the same institution. These videos subsequently went viral on social media platforms, leading to widespread protests within the university.

The accused student, hailing from Shimla district, was apprehended from her hometown the day after the incident came to light. She has been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including Section 292, which pertains to the sale of obscene material, Section 294, which deals with obscene acts and songs, and Section 67, which addresses the publishing or transmission of explicit content in electronic form.

According to reports, the accused student allegedly recorded the videos in the hostel bathroom and then shared them with a male student from Shimla, who is also enrolled at Chandigarh University. However, the male student involved remains at large and has been evading arrest.

Law enforcement authorities have recovered the accused student’s mobile phone, which reportedly contains the objectionable videos. The phone has been sent for forensic examination as part of the ongoing investigation.

The incident has sparked significant anger among the students of Chandigarh University, who are demanding strict action against both the accused girl and the absconding male student who participated in circulating the videos. The university administration has joined the students in condemning the incident and has pledged to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety and well-being of the students.

This distressing incident once again underscores the pressing issue of cybercrime and serves as a reminder of the importance of educating students about the potential dangers associated with sharing personal information online. It highlights the need for increased awareness, vigilance, and responsible use of digital platforms to safeguard individuals from falling victim to such malicious acts.
