New Delhi, March 14 A Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) official has said that they will be investigating a recent incident in which a group of boys allegedly entered the premises of the girls' hostel on Thursday night and engaged in a scuffle.
A purported video of the incident, circulating on social media, shows a group of boys fighting among themselves, while a security guard tries to escort them out of the premises.
A university official said, "The main gate is quite far from the actual girls' hostel, and as can be seen in the video, the group of boys were likely just talking or arguing amongst themselves. They did not appear to be trying to engage with anyone else."
However, the official said that the university will look into the matter.
According to BA student Sanya, who lives in the hostel, at least five to six boys entered the premises around 9:30 pm on Thursday.
"There is no confirmation on whether the group of boys who entered the hostel premises are students or not. A group of girls were at the entrance gate, where they were signing in, when the boys just pushed past them and entered the premises. They were fighting amongst themselves," Sanya said.
Meanwhile, the JMI unit of Students' Federation of India (SFI) and National Students' Union of India (NSUI) condemned the incident and demanded an investigation.
