The University of Lucknow (LU) suspended five students on Wednesday over alleged misconduct with minor girls and others during an event on the campus.
The action followed an interim report of the university’s Internal Complaints Committee (ICC), which found their “conduct unbecoming of students”, officials said.
The action was taken in connection with an incident at the AP Sen Auditorium on September 9, based on recommendations in the ICC interim report dated September 15 (Tuesday). Earlier on September 13, Hasanganj police had registered an FIR under sections 352 and 191(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) based on a written complaint by a girl student.
Officials said the controversy erupted after a group of girls, including minor students, alleged that some student organisation leaders and their associates touched them inappropriately, recorded videos and verbally threatened them with death when they objected during the ‘Yuva Sansad’ event.
