Hyderabad: The authorities in Hyderabad have launched a probe over alleged video recording in hostel bathrooms in CMR Engineering College at Medchal after a massive protest by female students on Thursday.
Police sources said that a case has been registered in the incident and further investigation have been set up.
He also said that soon after taking a complaint from the students after preliminary investigation five mess workers were picked up by police for questioning.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Srinivas Reddy said they seized 12 mobile phones of these workers.
“We have so far found no evidence that they recorded videos. We have not found any obscene videos on their phones. However, we are verifying if any videos were deleted,” he said.
The ACP said they took a complaint from the students and registered a case.
“We have found no evidence so far but there is room for suspicion,” the ACP said.
The police official said a girl saw the shadow of a person and brought the same to the warden’s notice but as there was no response from the warden, the students began the protest as they suspected that their videos might have been recorded.
The protestors raised slogans of “We want justice”. Leaders of student unions, including the ABVP, also joined the students in the protest which continued past midnight. ABVP leaders demanded action against the management of the college.
The protesters alleged that female students were being blackmailed. The student leaders warned that if videos recorded in bathrooms surface on social media, former minister and MLA Malla Reddy, who owns the college, will have to take responsibility.
