After this incident, eight students tried to commit suicide.
Mohali police chief Vivek Soni said that no deaths or attempts to die by suicide related to the incident have been reported as per medical records.
“It’s a matter of a video being shot by a girl student and circulated … Forensic evidence is being collected. So far no attempt to (die by) suicide have reported. Medical records of students have been taken on record. People should not pay attention to any rumors,” Mr. Soni said as reported.
Both the university and police have rubbished social media posts claiming several girls attempted to die by suicide over the video leak. The privately-run university’s officials said one girl was hospitalized after she fainted and her condition is stable.
