In a significant development in the sensational Chandigarh University video leak scandal, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann ordered a high-level probe and constituted a three-member all-women SIT to investigate the case under the supervision of senior IPS officer Gurpreet Kaur Deo. Addressing the media on Monday, DGP Punjab Mr Gaurav Yadav informed that the SIT will go to the bottom of the conspiracy and no person will be spared, if found involved.
For the unversed, Punjab's Chandigarh university witnessed widespread demonstrations on September 18 after several girl students alleged that their private videos were 'leaked' by a hostel student. However, Punjab Police after a preliminary investigation stated that the accused girl had shared her video with the Himachal man but no other student videos were found. In the case, a woman student, her rumoured 23-year-old boyfriend hailing from Himachal Pradesh, and his 31-year-old friend were arrested on Sunday.
Despite the arrest, the students of CU continued to protest, however, the demonstration were called off when the varsity administration nodded to agitating students demands i.e. the statements of those female students whose videos, they alleged, got leaked, be recorded before representatives of students, an apology from the management, changing hostel wardens, relaxation in timings for hostel entry, and safety issues.
In his video statement, DGP Punjab Mr. Gaurav Yadav said, "Regarding the unfortunate incident that took place in Chandigarh University, I want to apprise that investigation are going at full pace. Police have made three arrests in the case, including that of a student and two others from Himachal Pradesh. Certain electronic devices have been seized. I would like to extend my greeting to Himachal Pradesh DGP and Police for extending their co-operation to Punjab Police in making the arrest late yesterday night. On the direction of Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, a high-level probe has been ordered. We have constituted, a three-women all member Special Investigation Team (SIT) which will conduct the investigation under the supervision of senior IPS officer Gurpreet Kaur Deo."
