Udupi SP debunks social media claims on students filming private videos of other students
Says the video was not shared, and students knew each other
Udupi: Udupi District Superintendent of Police, Akshay Hakay Machindra, has addressed rumors and false messages circulating on social media regarding an alleged incident of filming in a mobile phone inside the toilet of Para Medical College in Udupi. In a press conference held at the Udupi SP office, he clarified that no hidden camera has been found in the college restroom and no complaints have been received by the department regarding the alleged video.
According to SP Akshay Hakay Machindra, the mobile phones seized from the students at the college were handed over to the police by the management board. After a thorough examination, no video related to the alleged incident was found on the phones. The police have also monitored social media platforms but have not come across any viral video in connection with the college incident. Some unrelated videos taken in different situations have been falsely linked to the college incident, with edited voices to mislead the public.
Notably, neither the affected student nor the college administration has lodged a police complaint in this regard. The police have not received any video evidence that would prompt them to initiate an investigation independently. SP Akshay Hakay Machindra appealed to the public that if anyone possesses the alleged video, they should come forward and provide it to the police for appropriate action.
Regarding an allegation of police harassment against Rashmi Sawant, who had tweeted about the issue, the SP clarified that the tweet was made from a fake account. The police contacted the user of the fake account to inform them that the content of the tweet was false, and they had no intention of troubling anyone.
The college management has already taken disciplinary action against the students involved in the incident based on the college's rules. The victim student, in the presence of their mother, has confirmed that the video was made for fun and immediately deleted after showing it to them, as conveyed to the college management.

Netanyahu recommends his Cabinet approve Hezbollah cease-fire proposal
Beirut, Nov 26: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced he will recommend a proposal for a cease-fire with Hezbollah to his Cabinet for approval, setting the stage for an end to nearly 14 months of fighting.
Netanyahu said the vote was expected later Tuesday. It was not immediately clear when the ceasefire would go into effect, and the exact terms of the deal were not released. The deal does not affect Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, which shows no signs of ending.
