A fresh case of assault has been reported where a group of students of 5-year Integrated MBA course allegedly ill-treated a 3rd year student belonging to the same department. The victim seeking justice registered a complaint with the P.G. Council Chairman on Thursday. As per the victim, who is a 3rd year student and an inmate of Acharya Harihar Gents’ Hostel was taken to Room no. 31 late on January 09 night and was allegedly stripped in presence of his seniors, juniors and their non-university accomplices. The accused also allegedly shot the entire episode with the help of a mobile phone.
“They forced me to strip and shot video clips on mobile phone. I want the notorious students to be punished,” the complainant said.
Moreover, the victim was threatened of dire consequences if he revealed it to anyone. However, the complainant not withstanding the threatening reported the incident to his hostel superintendent Kabir Mohan Sethi on January 14. The victim on Thursday approached the P.G.
