Indore, February 27 A first-year student at Devi Ahilya University in Indore has been expelled from the hostel for allegedly engaging in inappropriate activities in the presence of other female students, an official said on Friday.
The action was taken based on a complaint from a first-year female student, who accused the student of using inappropriate items in her room and engaging in morally unacceptable activities during video calls. Vice-Chancellor Dr. Rakesh Singhai told reporters that four other female students living in the hostel also made similar complaints against the student. The complaints also included that she was encouraging other female students in the hostel to form friendships with males through a mobile app.
The university formed a committee to investigate the complaints, and during a search, the hostel warden allegedly found inappropriate items in the student's room, the VC said.
"After the investigation, we found that this student's stay in the hostel could cause serious problems for other female students. Therefore, it was decided to immediately expel the student from the hostel," he said.
Devi Ahilya University, established in 1964 by the state government, is located in western Madhya Pradesh. Nearly 200 colleges are affiliated to it.
