    Chandigarh University 'objectionable' videos row: Students end protest, 3 arrested
    A Special Investigation Team constituted by Deputy Commissioner of Mohali, Amit Talwar, will now investigate the case.

    After two nights of massive protests over the alleged leak of "objectionable" women's hostel videos, students at Chandigarh University, Mohali, ended their stir in the early hours of Monday. They had protested for two days after alleged rumors of a fellow student leaking private videos of 60 female students triggered furor on the campus. So far, three people have been arrested in the case.

    Why does this story matter?

    Midnight protests erupted at the university in Mohali on Saturday following rumors that a first-year MBA student allegedly shot inappropriate videos and shared them with her boyfriend, who then uploaded them online. Students claimed the authorities of the private university tried to hush up the matter. However, the police later clarified the accused didn't shoot private videos of other students but only of herself.
