Udupi College Video Case: grant conditional bail to 3 students

Udupi college video case: The First Additional Civil and JMFC Court of Udupi on Friday granted conditional bail to the three female students accused of making videos of fellow students in the paramedical college toilet in Udupi.

A case was registered against accused 3 students who made the video in udupi paramedical college toilet. Case filed in  Malpe police station under section: 509,204,175,34 IPC and 66(E) IT Act.

Judge Shyam Prakash, who enquired into the matter, granted conditional bail to the three accused and ordered them to cooperate with the investigating officers, attend the court on the day of the hearing, and not threaten the witnesses. The court has imposed several conditions including submitting the Rs 20000 amount bond to the court.

The BJP party on Friday July 28 staged a massive protest over the incident over three Muslim girls who allegedly filmed a Hindu girl student in a college restroom. A rally was held from the Udupi district BJP office Kadiyali to Udupi police superintendent office at Bannaje. As a security measure, huge number of police have been deployed in the city.

Speaking to reporters, Udupi MLA Yashpal Suvarna said, “I suspect PFI links in the case. After the ban on PFI, we doubt that a PFI women’s wing has become active. These students might be a part of this operation. I do not trust the investigation carried out by the state government. They should hand over the case to the central government and a detailed investigation or joint investigation with the state government should be conducted.

“Our state chief minister and home minister are acting like mute and deaf and also like they support the Jihadis. Home minister Parameshwar said that the incident was a childish act. Today, they have kept a camera in the washroom, but tomorrow they can plant anything. The administration needs to undertake proper investigation and the culprit needs to be brought before the judiciary. We have to be alert about these ‘Hijabdaris’. We need to work more to bring such incidents to light,” he said.

Byndoor MLA Gururaj Ganthehole said, “I will give a free advice to the Congress. Political protests and protest for Hindu religion are different. Only organizations can fight for justice for all the Hindus who are in other parties. Give a free hand to Udupi police. The SP here is young and energetic. He must be allowed to tackle this situation. When NCW member Khushbu Sundar visited Udupi initially, misleading information was given to her. She was told that the incident was a pre-planned prank and there was no hidden camera.”
