Delhi Police has arrested an employee of Jamia Millia Islamia Institute for sexually assaulting female student

The police received a distress call on April  at 9.30 pm that a woman had been harassed and molested near the college’s gates. Purported videos in the aftermath of the incident were shared widely on social media.

 In the clips, the woman can be seen approaching the man asking, “Why did you do that?”. She then said, “He punched me on the chest.”

Another video showed the man surrounded by university students. He then received a slap across his face.

Student organisations of the university alleged that the incident took place in front of the college’s security guards.

A representative of the organisation also alleged that the man had been stalking the woman for some time before he took this action.
