On Monday, some police officers visited Banasthali Vidyapith, and it is speculated that Tonk superintendent of police Rajesh Meena is personally investigating the seriousness of the matter.
The viral video investigation follows previous questions raised about the institution's operations in several cases of student suicides. District collector Kalpana Agrawal stated that action will be taken in response to the viral video case as per the notice from the State Human Rights Commission.
Renowned for Panchsheel education in the country and abroad, the largest women's deemed university in the country, Banasthali Vidyapith, is once again embroiled in controversy. Some time ago, a student committed suicide after writing a suicide note, and another student jumped in front of a train to commit suicide.
Now, after a video of a student jumping from a hostel balcony and screaming in distress went viral on X, questions have been raised about the internal arrangements of the institution.
After a video of a student being described as intoxicated was posted on X, the family filed a complaint at the Niwai police station. The case filed by the father states that their daughter was recently admitted to the first year of the MBA program, but the students in the hostel room where she was placed were harassing her.
The father reported that when their daughter complained to the hostel management, no attention was given.
According to the father, their daughter became depressed due to harassment by other students and, in distress, jumped from the balcony.
After the incident, the Vidyapith management informed the family and handed over the student to them when they arrived at the institution. It is believed that the family of the student, who resides in Alwar, took action when the video of the incident was posted on X three days ago, claiming she was intoxicated.
Questions have been raised about the Vidyapith management because they did not inform the police about the incident that occurred on July 23, nor did they take any action on the family's complaint. In the report submitted to the police, the father demanded a full refund of the fees from the Vidyapith management. He also informed the police that his daughter would no longer be studying there.
After the video came to the attention of the State Human Rights Commission, the commission's Chairman, Justice G.R.
Moolchandani, issued notices to the district magistrate, district superintendent of police, the head of the institution, the manager of the institution, and the higher education department, demanding a factual report. He considered it serious that the entire incident was concealed and not reported to the police.
The Chairman directed all parties to be present with a factual report by August 22.
The incident is reported to have occurred on July 22.
The FIR submitted by the family states that their daughter was residing in room number 82 of Shanta Vatsalyam. Other students were also her roommates.
According to the victim, one roommate gave her an intoxicating cake and cold drink under the pretext of a birthday celebration and later made an obscene video of her. According to the family, she recently arrived at the hostel on July 17.
After the FIR was filed at the Niwai police station, station officer Ramjilal Verma stated that the police would investigate all the allegations. The station officer said that they would visit the Vidyapith to assess the situation, record statements, and take necessary action.

Satna suicide case: Youth held for abetment; ex-MLA's wife booked for negligence
BHOPAL: Four days after a 24-year-old woman allegedly died by suicide using a licensed pistol at the residence of former Congress MLA Nilanshu Chaturvedi in Satna, police arrested a youth from Banda district in Uttar Pradesh for abetment to suicide. Police also booked the former MLA's wife, Archana Sharma, under relevant sections of the Arms Act for mishandling a licensed weapon—the pistol, which was registered in her name, was used in the suicide. The arrested youth, Arvind Yadav, was reportedly in a relationship with the deceased, Suman Nishad. Suman, who worked as domestic help along with her mother at Chaturvedi's house, allegedly shot herself in the right temple with the licensed firearm on July 29. The pistol belonged to Archana Sharma, who has now been booked under the Arms Act for negligence in storing the weapon. According to police, Suman and Arvind were in a relationship. Her family recently arranged her marriage to someone else, which reportedly caused tension. Investigators said Arvind gifted her a mobile phone, which was earlier found by her family, leading to frequent arguments. "A day before the incident, her family again caught her using the phone. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indian NRIs Are Getting Eligible For INR 2 Lakh Monthly Pension On Retirement.

We arrested Arvind Yadav, and he has been booked under relevant sections of the IPC for abetment to suicide," SP Satna Ashutosh Gupta told TOI. "The licensee of the weapon used in the incident, Archana Sharma, has also been booked under relevant sections of the Arms Act for negligent handling of the firearm," he added. Police believe emotional stress from the broken relationship and family pressure triggered the suicide. Suman was found injured inside the bathroom on the third floor of Chaturvedi's residence and was later declared dead at Janaki Kund Hospital. The family reportedly did not initially suspect any foul play, but subsequent investigations and mobile phone data pointed toward Arvind's involvement, officials said. Meanwhile, police confirmed that Archana Sharma, wife of the former MLA, has been charged under the Arms Act for allegedly failing to safely secure her licensed firearm, which was used in the incident.
