The SIT has been formed under the supervision of senior IPS officer Gurpreet Kaur Deo, police told PTI. The team will thoroughly probe the case and no person involved will be spared, Punjab Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said.

Protests rocked the university campus in Punjab's Mohali on Saturday night over the issue. Some students claimed that the videos recorded by the woman student were even leaked.

They also leveled allegations of misbehaviour against a warden. The university authorities, however, dismissed these allegations as "false and baseless".

Police also said the student appeared to have shared a video of only herself with a 23-year-old "boyfriend" and no objectionable video of any other student was found. She was arrested shortly while her alleged boyfriend was nabbed from Himachal on Sunday.

A 31-year-old man, too, was apprehended from the hill state on Sunday evening. The duo was then handed over to the Punjab Police.

Following assurances of a fair and transparent probe, the students ended their protest at around 1.30 am on Monday, Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police Vivek Sheel Soni told the news agency.
