BHUBANESWAR: Tension prevailed on Saturday in Odisha’s KIIT University campus following alleged gangrape of a student of National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) by some unidentified youths on Friday night.
After the news about the incident spread in the campus, the students staged road blockade demanding immediate arrest of the accused. According to the agitating students, the girl was gangraped by the miscreants when she was on her way to NIFT hostel located inside KIIT University campus. “At around 2 am on Friday night, when the girl was walking down to her hostel room after meeting some of her friends in the campus, she was forcibly taken away by some unidentified youths who were suspiciously moving around the hostel. Although it happened in front of the hostel warden and security guards, no one protected the girl who was screaming for help,” the agitating students said. Alleging that all efforts were being made to suppress the incident, the students demanded for production of CCTV footages.
