Gargi College molestation
New Delhi: Scores of students of the all-women Gargi College on Monday held a protest against the alleged molestation of girls by a group of men who had gatecrashed a cultural festival, demanding strict action against the intruders.
The Delhi Police said it has launched a probe into the incident and is scanning CCTV footage to gather evidence. Police, however, have not received a complaint in this regard, a senior officer said.
The incident came to light after some students took to Instagram to narrate their unpleasant experiences during the February 6 college fest.
Over 100 students held a protest outside the gate of Gargi College. They alleged that the college management did not take any action even after the students took up the matter with it. They also alleged that Rapid Action Force and Delhi Police personnel were deployed close to the gate from where the men entered the college, but they did nothing to control the unruly crowd.
Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal reached the college to take stock of the situation.
The DCW has issued a notice the college and the Delhi Police for inaction. Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Atul Kumar Thakur said appropriate action will be taken in the matter. (PTI)
