South Asian University Suspends Two Hostel Staff After Alleged Campus Assault as Police Question Over 100

Investigators say a threatening email to the student originated within the university, intensifying focus on internal actors.

Overview

  • Delhi Police registered an FIR under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita based on the student’s statement, with suspects yet to be identified and no arrests so far.
  • Officers have reviewed footage from more than 40 CCTV cameras, checked guard logs and phones, and located three campus spots where the student was seen that night.
  • The student reported receiving morphed images and coercive messages on email, WhatsApp and Telegram directing her to an isolated area near the convocation centre.
  • SAU relieved the girls’ hostel warden of wardenship, suspended an outsourced assistant, appointed the assistant warden to take charge, and set up committees to examine response lapses.
  • Protests entered a fourth day on Thursday as students pressed for broader accountability, representation in complaints bodies, and campus safety measures after the initial suspensions.
