On Monday, some police officers visited Banasthali Vidyapith, and it is speculated that Tonk superintendent of police Rajesh Meena is personally investigating the seriousness of the matter.
The viral video investigation follows previous questions raised about the institution's operations in several cases of student suicides. District collector Kalpana Agrawal stated that action will be taken in response to the viral video case as per the notice from the State Human Rights Commission.
Renowned for Panchsheel education in the country and abroad, the largest women's deemed university in the country, Banasthali Vidyapith, is once again embroiled in controversy. Some time ago, a student committed suicide after writing a suicide note, and another student jumped in front of a train to commit suicide.
Now, after a video of a student jumping from a hostel balcony and screaming in distress went viral on X, questions have been raised about the internal arrangements of the institution.
After a video of a student being described as intoxicated was posted on X, the family filed a complaint at the Niwai police station. The case filed by the father states that their daughter was recently admitted to the first year of the MBA program, but the students in the hostel room where she was placed were harassing her.
The father reported that when their daughter complained to the hostel management, no attention was given.
According to the father, their daughter became depressed due to harassment by other students and, in distress, jumped from the balcony.
After the incident, the Vidyapith management informed the family and handed over the student to them when they arrived at the institution. It is believed that the family of the student, who resides in Alwar, took action when the video of the incident was posted on X three days ago, claiming she was intoxicated.
Questions have been raised about the Vidyapith management because they did not inform the police about the incident that occurred on July 23, nor did they take any action on the family's complaint. In the report submitted to the police, the father demanded a full refund of the fees from the Vidyapith management. He also informed the police that his daughter would no longer be studying there.
After the video came to the attention of the State Human Rights Commission, the commission's Chairman, Justice G.R.
Moolchandani, issued notices to the district magistrate, district superintendent of police, the head of the institution, the manager of the institution, and the higher education department, demanding a factual report. He considered it serious that the entire incident was concealed and not reported to the police.
The Chairman directed all parties to be present with a factual report by August 22.
The incident is reported to have occurred on July 22.
The FIR submitted by the family states that their daughter was residing in room number 82 of Shanta Vatsalyam. Other students were also her roommates.
According to the victim, one roommate gave her an intoxicating cake and cold drink under the pretext of a birthday celebration and later made an obscene video of her. According to the family, she recently arrived at the hostel on July 17.
After the FIR was filed at the Niwai police station, station officer Ramjilal Verma stated that the police would investigate all the allegations. The station officer said that they would visit the Vidyapith to assess the situation, record statements, and take necessary action.
