The Delhi HC initiated a suo motu matter last year after taking cognizance of an Indian Express report on the alleged secret filming of students of a college at IIT Delhi fest.
The Court passed the order while hearing a PIL concerned with the filming of female DU students changing their costumes at IIT Delhi's cultural festival.
Citing previous incidents, the Court highlighted serious lapses at the university level in the design and implementation of security measures at college festivals.
The Delhi High Court demanded action by authorities after several female Delhi University students alleged that they were secretly filmed while changing in an IIT-Delhi washroom for a fashion show at the institute’s fest.
The Delhi High Court Thursday directed the Delhi police to ensure adequate personnel are provided before holding any cultural festival or such programmes at colleges as it is their duty to ensure the safety of students.
