Karnataka: 3 College Girls Suspended For Taking Video Of Fellow Student In Restroom

College management in the Udupi district has suspended three girl students after they allegedly videographed a fellow student in the restroom, according to a report in PTI.

The incident occurred on Wednesday and the college took action against the trio the very next day, Netra Jyothi College director Rashmi Krishna Prasad said.

The girls were suspended on two counts -- first, they brought the mobile phone which is banned in the college and then took video, she said. The director revealed that the three girls informed the victim that they had intended to target someone else, and she was mistakenly recorded in the video. Allegedly, they deleted the video in her presence, as stated by the director.

Once the victim told her other friends about the incident, they brought the issue to the management, the director said.

"We suspended the three girls immediately. Though the victim was reluctant to lodge a police complaint for some reasons, we petitioned to the police inform them about the incident. We also handed over the mobile phones used in videography for forensic examination," Rashmi told PTI.

The Malpe Station House Officer said they have received a complaint and are looking into it.
