Mandsaur, October 17 (IANS) Congress workers created a ruckus in protest on Friday after a case of secretly filming girl students changing clothes in a room during the youth festival of a government college in Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur came to light.
Mandsaur district police on October 15 arrested three students for their alleged involvement in the case.
A large number of Congress workers gathered at Bhanpur Government College in Mandsaur on Friday evening and protested against ABVP and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Madhya Pradesh.
During the demonstration, Congress workers tried to burn the effigy of Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, which was stopped by the police present on the spot.
Due to the ban, the protesters became furious and had a heated argument with the police personnel.
However, the police acted quickly and used fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire in the effigy and disperse the crowd on Friday evening.
Congress MLA Vipin Jain, who joined the protest, accused police officials of preventing party workers from exercising their constitutional rights.
On Wednesday, Bhanpura police station had received a complaint that during the preparation for a program of the youth festival going on in the college on Tuesday, the girl students were secretly filmed while changing their costumes in the changing room.
According to Bhanpura police station in-charge, after receiving the complaint, three of the four accused students have been arrested and booked under sections 77 and 3 (5) of the Indian Justice Code, which relate to voyeurism and offenses committed by two or more persons with common intention.
While the three arrested student leaders were sent to judicial custody by a court, the local police have sent the seized cellphones for forensic analysis to find out whether there were more such videos on the phones.
