DCW chairperson issues summons over mass molestation in Gargi College Fest
The case of molesting female students during the annual fest at Gargi College, Delhi has started to heat up. This matter has reached the Lok Sabha. Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank said on Monday that external elements were involved in the alleged molestation of female students at Delhi’s Gargi College and the institute administration has been asked to take action. In reply to a supplementary question of Congress member Gaurav Gogoi during the Question Hour in Lok Sabha, Pokhriyal said that the government is aware of the incident of Gargi College. He said, “Outsiders were involved in the incident, not students.” This was not a good incident. The college administration has been asked to take action.
On the last day of the fest, from 3 pm to 9 pm on Thursday afternoon, girls were molested in the indecent. Due to the jammer, they could not even complain by calling. Accused entered college incorrectly. Some climbed over the wall. Police and college security were deployed during the fest, but they did nothing. It is alleged that people were allowed inside without seeing the pass and ID card. There was no help from the principal and the college administration.
February 6 was the last day of the college fest, with Bollywood singer Zubin Nautiyal arriving. Students of Girls College say the entry was by a Pass, but many boys reached this festival. The girls allege that these micreants were not students and that many of them were drunk. They did obscene acts with girls, even following them up to Metro PG.
गार्गी कॉलेज में जो गुंडई और अश्लीलता हुई वो आसहनीय है। इतना सब होने के बाद जब कॉलेज प्रशासन ये बोले कि “छात्राओं को फेस्ट में आने की ज़रूरत ही क्या थी” तो सारी हदें ही पार हो जाती है!
इस घटिया मानसिकता के खिलाफ लड़ाई में हम गार्गी कॉलेज की छात्राओं के साथ खड़े हैं।#Gargi pic.twitter.com/kG7oI7d32W
