UP Shocker! IIT-BHU Student Molested, Stripped By Men On Motorbike
In a shocking incident, a female student of IIT-BHU was allegedly molested and stripped by three motorcycle-borne men, who also recorded a video of the act.
The incident happened on Wednesday night when the student was with a friend near her hostel inside the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) campus.
What happened
They were near the Karman Baba temple when three men came there on a motorcycle and forcibly took her to a corner, and gagged her after separating her from her friend.
The accused then stripped the woman, made a video of her and clicked photos. They let her go after 15 minutes and took her phone number.
How the police reacted
Based on the student's complaint, an FIR has been registered under Section 354 (assault or criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and under provisions of the IT Act at Lanka police station, police said.
Why BHU students are protesting?
Meanwhile, hundreds of BHU students on Thursday held a protest on the campus against the incident.
They claimed outside elements were involved in the incident and demanded that outsiders be banned from entering the campus.
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday took to social media and condemned the incident.
"Are BHU campuses and even top institutions like IITs not safe now? Is it no longer possible for a girl student in the Prime Minister's constituency to walk fearlessly inside her own educational institution?" she asked.
