The Chandigarh University administration earlier in the day suspended Rajvinder Kaur, the warden of its girls’ hostel, for suspected inappropriate behaviour with students following widespread student protests demanding action regarding the alleged leak of objectionable footage from its ladies’ hostel. Additionally, the university is closed to new students until Saturday.
