The camera was reportedly found by a student, triggering outrage among the hostel residents. According to students, over 300 videos were allegedly recorded and circulated among the boys’ hostel, prompting hundreds of students to gather in protest, chanting slogans like “we want justice” and demanding strict action against those responsible.

In response to the unrest, police were called to the scene, and a final-year engineering student believed to be involved in placing the camera was detained. The identity of the student has not been disclosed as investigations continue.
