Controversies

Girls Hostel Spy Camera controversy

In September 2014, a female student found three spy cameras in the washroom of the girls' hostel. The camera was fixed with duct tape and was hidden under the wash basin. As the news broke out, almost 4,000 students came out on roads to protest against the management and calling for an immediate probe and necessary punitive action.[23] An FIR was filed against four people, which includes the housekeeping staff and security guards.[24]
