Two tipsy cops harass female student in University of Hyderabad campus, booked

In a complaint, the University of Hyderabad security officer has alleged that two bike-borne police personnel, Suresh and Gopal, entered the campus through the Gopanpally gate.

"After reaching the south campus junction of the University, they misbehaved and harassed female students. At the time of the incident they were under the influence of liquor," said G Jalandhar Reddy, security officer, in his complaint.

According to the Students Union President, a female student was standing at the south junction when these police personnel passed by.

"The police personnel misbehaved with her. She called her friends. Later, security personnel of the university also reached at the spot," said Abhishek Nandan, Student Union President.

Later, students along with the security personnel apprehended the police personnel and handed them over to Gachibowli Police Station.

"We have sent them for the medical checkup. These cops are posted beside a police land near the campus. They entered the campus in civies on the patrolling bike," said R Srinivas, SHO, Gachibowli Police Station.

Police have registered a case under section 447 (Criminal Trespass), 509(intending to insult the modesty of any woman), and 510 (in a state of intoxication) of IPC.

"It is a very sad affair. There has been a rampant presence of police patrolling inside the campus premises. The university administration has been using the police force to deal with students. During the students protest, police have been called inside the campus. University should check entry and presence of police on the campus," said Abhishek Nandan.
