Udupi (Karnataka) – Hidden cameras were fitted in a washroom of a private College, Netra Jyothi Institute of Allied Health Sciences, for recording indecent videos. Police have filed a case against the concerned girl students, viz. Shabhnaz, Alfiya, and Aleema along with the College Administration. These students used to record videos of the Hindu girl students and send them to their Muslim friends. Kushboo Sundar, a member of ‘the National Commission for Women’ went to the Institute for obtaining detailed information. On the other hand, Dr G Parameshwara, Karnataka State Home Minister has expressed his infuriating and insensitive views on the incident by saying that it was a small incident, blown out of proportion. There was no need to look at it from a political angle. Such things did happen in colleges. BJP should avoid playing politics with minor incidents.

The whole department did its best to cover up the entire incident. There should be a CBI investigation into the matter: @drashwathcn pic.twitter.com/D8Cv2YEl64

Rashmi Samant, a social worker, has accused in her tweet that attempts were made to suppress the incident. Ms Samant has said that ‘many of the girls who featured in the videos looked depressed and disturbed to the extent that they are contemplating self-harm/ suicide, yet this issue is not being condemned with the severity it deserves’. Ms Samant has compared the incident with an incident that occurred in 1992 in Ajmer wherein hundreds of Hindu girl students were blackmailed by taking their indecent photos, and they were sexually exploited, resulting in many girl students committing suicide. She remembered that incident and expressed her fear of Udupi becoming another Ajmer. This tweet led to Karnataka Police going to Rashmi Samant’s house, but she was not at home. The Police, then, made an inquiry with her parents, informed Samant’s advocate Aditya Srinivasan.
I’m from Udupi and nobody is talking about Alimatul Shaifa, Shabanaz and Aliya who placed cameras in female toilets of their college to record hundreds of unsuspecting Hindu girls. Videos and phots that were then circulated in community WhatsApp groups by the perpetrators.
