In the case of a girl student allegedly recording videos in the hostel washroom at Chandigarh University in Mohali, the Punjab police on Saturday arrested an army personnel in Arunachal Pradesh on charges of blackmailing her. The student and two men from her native state Himachal Pradesh have already been arrested. There were massive protests on the campus of the private university, about 20 km outside of Chandigarh, after the matter came to light last Saturday.
Punjab police chief Gaurav Yadav today said a team from Mohali arrested the soldier, Sanjeev Singh, after tracking ‘forensic and digital evidence’ gathered from devices seized from the other arrested accused.Rumours of other girls’ videos being in circulation had fueled the protests, but the police had said the arrested girl sent only her own video to a friend. The net has since widened, and police are probing if she was blackmailed into recording and sharing videos.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had set up a three-member all-woman Special Investigation Team (SIT) as rival parties accused the AAP of not taking the matter seriously enough.The army personnel’s arrest today was made from Sela Pass in Arunachal with support of police from the local area and neighbouring Assam, besides the army. Mohali Police got two-day transit remand from the local court and will now produce him before a magistrate in Mohali, said DGP Yadav.
