3 barge into Gorakhpur university, molest girl

GORAKHPUR: A girl student was molested by three men in the DDU Gorakhpur University campus on Saturday, raising serious questions on women’s safety in higher educational institutions in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The three accused were caught by university authorities and handed over to police.
In the last fortnight, Banaras Hindu University was rocked by two incidents of molestation of girls.
The three men, who were outsiders, forcibly entered the university even though security guards tried to stop them.
By the time the guards informed the chief proctor about their forced entry, they had reached the fine arts department and tried to molest a girl.
The girl raised an alarm and the chief proctor and guards immediately reached the spot and caught the three. They were handed over to cops. “The three accused were not students of the university and we handed them over to the police,” chief proctor Gopal Prasad said.
Prasad filed a written complaint against the three, following which an FIR was lodged against them under IPC Section 354 (assault or cri-minal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modes-ty) and 354 (D).
