Mangaluru varsity: Stranger behaves indecently before girls
Students resort to protest demanding action
Ullala, August 30: A stranger behaved indecently before four girls when they were walking on the Mangaluru university campus on Wednesday evening. Condemning this sudden development, the students resorted to protest boycotting the classes in front of the Administrative Block of the university and demanded his immediate arrest.
When the four students were going towards their hostel after the class on Mangala Gangothri campus, the stranger who came on a motorbike, stopped in front of the Kannada department and signaled the girls by opening the zip of his trouser. When the students complained to the security officers, the stranger fled the scene with the motorbike. Later, the students lodged a complaint to the university officers. Since there was no clue over the accused till Thursday morning, the students boycotted the classes and resorted to protest demanding immediate arrest.
The students also demanded the authorities to verify the CCTV footage. On Thursday morning, the authorities showed the footage to the students, but there was no record. Students also demanded to check other CCTV cameras to know the identity of the stranger and take action.
VC promises
However, the students who staged a protest demanded the Vice Chancellor to visit the spot. But Vice Chancellor (Acting) Dr. Kishor who has been to Udupi on a government programme, reached the campus in the afternoon and visited the spot and promised of taking the action. As soon as the complaint was lodged, the university authority has taken the issue seriously. All CCTV footage were collected. Based on the details of footage, preparation was made to lodge a complaint to Konaje police station, he said and also advised the girl students to take main roads instead of short-cuts.
ACP A Ramarao also visited the spot and promised of arresting the accused. Later, the students withdrew their protest.
