The hostel warden, who was seen in a viral video confronting the arrested girl who has been accused of allegedly sending the videos to men outside the university, reportedly didn't inform police about the matter immediately. She also allegedly scolded the girls when students started the protest.

Cops told NDTV last evening that only four videos have been found on the phone of the woman student accused of taking and releasing obscene videos of girls at the hostel of the Chandigarh University in Punjab's Mohali. But all these are of this woman which she sent to her boyfriend, Mohali's top police officer Navreet Singh Virk said. There have been no suicide attempts at the university as is being claimed by the protesting students. The videos they claim are being circulated, are yet to be found, he added.

The students at Chandigarh University have refused to accept the police findings that there is no prima facie evidence that the student had taken obscene videos of other women in the hostel bathroom.
