The protest was staged at the University on Saturday night. According to the reports that surfaced as of now, the accused girl was making videos of her fellow students taking bath and has been sending them to a youth living in Shimla. She reportedly received money for sharing the private videos of her fellow students. The victims left speechless after seeing their own videos in the internet, says reports.

As a result, eight of the students tried committing suicide and were admitted in different hospitals for treatment. The students created a ruckus alleging that the management of the university was trying to suppress the matter. They alleged that no action was taken against the accused despite complaining.

The protest on behalf of the girls in #ChandigarhUniversity started when one girl secretly recorded videos of other girls from hostel bathroom & leaked them online.
