A first-year B. Tech student at South Asian University (SAU) in Delhi has alleged that she was sexually assaulted and subjected to an attempted gang-rape by four men on campus. The incident reportedly took place in an under-construction area within the university premises.
According to the victim, the accused tore her clothes and touched her inappropriately. “The four accused tore my clothes, touched me, and attempted to gang-rape me,” she told the police.
**Investigation Underway**
Police received a call regarding the incident around 3:00 PM on Monday at the Maidan Garhi police station. Initially, a case of molestation was registered, but after recording the student’s detailed statement, sections related to attempted gang-rape were added.
Authorities are currently reviewing CCTV footage from across the university based on the victim’s account. Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Ankit Chauhan confirmed that the call about the incident was made by someone known to the student.
**Campus Protests and Administration Response**
The alleged assault has sparked protests on campus, with students demanding accountability and a safer environment. Visuals from the protest show packed hallways of SAU, with students sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in solidarity.
In response, the university administration has assured full cooperation with the police investigation. A statement from SAU reads, “The police are conducting a thorough investigation into the matter and the administration is extending full cooperation to the investigating authorities.”
**Background**
South Asian University was established by the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries to provide educational opportunities to students from all eight member states. The university operates under the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
This incident comes just days after the alleged rape of an MBBS student at a hotel in Delhi’s Adarsh Nagar area, raising concerns about student safety in the capital.
