VARANASI: A student of IIT-BHU was allegedly molested and stripped by three motorcycle-borne men, who also recorded a video of the act, near her hostel here, police said on Thursday.
Banaras Hindu University (BHU) students on Thursday held a protest.
They claimed outside elements were involved in the incident and demanded that outsiders be banned from entering the campus.
According to a complaint lodged by the woman, she was out with a friend on the IIT-BHU campus on Wednesday night.
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, the complaint stated.
Despite ongoing calls for campus security enhancements, the director and chief proctor remain inactive. Last night, a student was assaulted on our campus. We, the students of IIT BHU, demand immediate action and increased security. #SafetyFirst #IITBHU pic.twitter.com/RdgPhldV8I
