The woman student was confronted for filming MMS of other dormitory residents, which appeared online, and a commotion broke out late Saturday night at the institution.
According to reports, the female student allegedly recorded videos of her roommates and sent them to a man in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, who posted the MMS files online. When videos showing students taking baths appeared online, they were in disbelief.
After the videos of them having baths became viral, there were rumours of a lady making an attempt of suicide. The reports, however, have been dismissed by the police.
No suicide attempt or death has taken place. One student who was taken in an ambulance was suffering from anxiety and our team is in contact with her. Apart from the video of one student, no other video has come to our notice: SSP Mohali Vivek Soni https://t.co/BNdvjYaKma pic.twitter.com/5k05GQ9QBf
