This comes at the backdrop of the complaint by students of Gargi College, who purported that they were molested by men during their annual college festival 'Reverie' on February 6.
A student released a statement, alleging that on Saturday 8,000-10,000 individuals accumulated in the campus by jumping the gates and damaged the property of Gargi. The statement further accused the individuals of allegedly manhandling, molesting the women students during the concert.
Dr Kumar further stated that the committee will prepare, in a time-bound manner, a report of the complaints for submission to the police and added that students also have the option of approaching the ICC of Gargi College for confidential inquiry
