3 booked in Kurukshetra obscene clip case

Kurukshetra, January 13

Raising suspicion over three persons for the obscene clip incident, the Kurukshetra University has got a case registered under Section 67a (publishing or transmitting of material containing sexually explicit act in electronic form) of IT Act at Kurukshetra University police station.

An obscene clip was played during an online class of social work department on January 7 following which a committee was formed to investigate the matter. In his complaint to the police, assistant professor Balvinder Singh said, “On January 7, an online class for first-year students of the department of social work was in progress when someone played an obscene video. As many as 39 students were attending the class. When inquired into, 2-3 boys started shouting that you have played it. Meanwhile, the other students said that these were outsiders and they should be removed from the online class. I stopped the clip, took the screenshots of those students and informed the head of the department. I doubt that the three boys were behind the incident.” Dr Brajesh Sawhney, Director Public Relations, KU, said, “A complaint has been lodged and by the police.” — TNS
