Students vs Police Over "Hidden Camera" In Girls' Toilet Of Andhra College
Andhra Hidden Camera Scandal: Students have been staging a protest since yesterday and claim that the camera had been installed by a senior with the help of a female student.
New Delhi: An engineering college in Andhra Pradesh was shaken when some students allegedly found a hidden camera in the women's toilet. This led to massive protests, which saw not just students but also faculty members demand a swift probe. But while chants of "we want justice" still ring outside the hostel of the Gudlavalleru Engineering College, police say they haven't found a camera or any leaked videos.
"We found no cameras hidden in the girl's hostel during our probe. We searched the suspected student laptops, mobile phones, and other devices in front of the students and college staff. No videos were found. Girl Students need not worry," Krishna District SP Gandadhar Rao said.
The official's statement came hours after a senior student was arrested from the boy's hostel in connection with the incident.
Expressing anger over the police's statements, the protesters have said that they are just seeking justice but the college management and cops were trying to discredit them.
"They didn't care when I told them about the hidden camera," said a protesting student claiming that she had informed the college management about the hidden camera a week ago, but they did not take any action.
"When I complained again yesterday around 5 pm, they said they needed a month for investigation. Then, overnight, they spread rumors calling it fake news. They asked me to call my father. What have we done wrong? Is it a crime to seek justice," the student added.
The college's faculty association has also expressed surprise over the police's findings.
Students of the college have been staging a protest since yesterday evening and claim that the camera had been installed by a senior with the help of a female student. Protesters claim that several of the videos recorded on the hidden camera were being sold by the accused.
The controversy began when female students reportedly found the concealed camera in their hostel toilet last evening. This discovery sparked immediate panic and led to a large-scale protest that continued through the night. Students chanted “We want justice” as they demanded answers and accountability.
Massive protests erupted at the SR Gudlavalleru Engineering College in Andhra Pradesh’s Krishna district on Thursday after a hidden camera was found inside the washroom of a girls’ hostel.
Scores of female students at the hostel were seen chanting “we want justice” slogans, demanding the authorities to take action against the accused, and assuring their safety on campus.
In an unsettling development, a hidden camera was found in the women’s hostel toilet at an Andhra Pradesh engineering college on Thursday.

In a shocking allegation by hundreds of girls studying in Gudlavalleru College of Engineering in Andhra Pradesh, a hidden camera was reportedly discovered in the ladies hostel washroom. Massive protests erupted immediately in the hostel after some girls allegedly noticed a camera yesterday evening, demanding the college adminstration to take a strict action against the miscreants. They demanded justice and protection for the privacy of any such videos recorded.
The disturbing incident sparked widespread outrage all over the state. The government immediately swung into action and Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu took stock of the situation and directed the officials to probe into the matter and give a report immediately.
Krishna district SP Gangadhar Rao monitored the situation and announced that police took a senior student into custody based on preliminary enquiries, but no incriminating evidence has been found so far. He stated that no hidden camera has been discovered so far and also there are no leaked videos in any mobile and laptop devices are found.
In no time after the incident came to light, the sensitive issue gained political colour as many social media users tried to attribute party affiliations to the college adminstration and the accused students.
With so many girls lives and dignity of several families at stake in this highly sensitive issue, everyone should be beware of the consequences and make sure that no rumours are spread on social media out of hatred on political parties.
Andhra Pradesh government should order a high-level enquiry into this matter and investigate the allegations in an impartial and transparent manner to restore the faith of the girls who have been protesting all throughout the night.
