New Delhi: The case of women students at Delhi University's Ramanujan College allegedly being lured with money, gifts and other facilities to be taken to a music concert in Ahmedabad has gathered momentum. Over the issue, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) staged a protest on the college campus and demanded that a safe environment be ensured for women students.
The controversy is linked to college student Anas Khan. Alleged WhatsApp messages that went viral on social media claim that women students were offered travel, special entry and payments ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 30,000 to be taken to Diljit Dosanjh's programme in Ahmedabad on November 21. ABVP said the women students contacted included first-year students aged 17 to 18. The organisation has demanded an impartial, transparent and time-bound inquiry into the matter.
After a preliminary inquiry by the college's proctorial committee, Anas Khan was suspended on November 6 until February 1, 2027. During this period, he has been barred from regular academic and extracurricular activities, though he has been allowed to appear in university-scheduled examinations.
Meanwhile, NSUI, while condemning the alleged conduct, said Anas Khan had been suspended during the DUSU elections itself for anti-organisation activities and now has no connection with the organisation.
ABVP has demanded that the allegations in this matter concerning the safety of women students be investigated seriously and that strict action be taken against those found guilty. However, the allegations made in the viral messages have not yet been independently verified.
