A shocking incident at SR Gudlavalleru Engineering College in Andhra Pradesh has led to widespread protests after a hidden camera was discovered in the girls’ hostel washroom. The footage, reportedly circulated among students in the boys’ hostel, has caused alarm and distress among the female students.
The incident came to light on Thursday evening when a group of female students uncovered the hidden camera, triggering immediate outrage. As news spread, students organized a protest that began around 7 PM and continued through Friday morning, with chants of “We want justice” echoing across the campus. The students demanded accountability and urgent action to ensure their safety.
Police have detained a final-year engineering student in connection with the case, but the investigation is ongoing. Authorities are probing whether additional students were involved in installing the camera or distributing the explicit videos and photos. Reports suggest that over 300 images and videos were leaked, with some students allegedly purchasing the content.
The discovery has left many female students deeply unsettled, with some expressing fears about using the washroom facilities. Authorities have assured that strict action will be taken against those responsible for this violation of privacy.
The protests at the college coincide with nationwide demonstrations following the rape and murder of a junior doctor at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata, further intensifying public outrage over issues of safety and security for women.
