One held for harassing NIT-T student; warden apologises for harsh remark

NIT-T campus witnessed high drama after an alleged incident of sexual harassment in the women's hostel on late Thursday evening gave rise to a spirited night protest by students demanding not only a safe campus but also an end to moral policing by authorities.

Enraging students further, the hostel warden shifted the blame on the 'harassed' peer and protests died down only after the latter apologised and the culprit was arrested.

It all began after a female student was allegedly sexually harassed by a WiFi technician in her hostel room, forcing students to hold a stir from Thursday night. According to sources, the incident occurred in one of the girls' hostels when the technician, who was contacted to fix a glitch, flashed the student and made lewd gestures. The student reported the incident to college authorities, friends, and parents with photographic evidence.
