Recently, a cyber crime was reported in Institute of Professional Studies (IIPS), affiliated to the Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV), against the alleged misuse of photographs of eight girl students, which were posted on an Internet pornographic site.
DAVV asked police to register a case of cyber crime against all the three accused. Institute formed a special committee consisting of Professor AK Ramani, Col Gautam, Col Thakur, Yamini Karmakar and Dr BK Tripathi, to investigate the complaint lodged by the girls.
The committee report constituted of the names of three boy students--Vaibhav Jain, Ravi Naval and Rahul Shah. Professor Bharat Chhaparwal, Vice Chancellor, DAVV, who received the committee's recommendations in the probe, disclosed this.
As per the committee's recommendations, Vaibhav Jain, the main accused in the act, has been rusticated from the institute, while the other two students have been debarred from appearing in their examinations and their admission for this session stands cancelled.
Protesting against the mischief, activists of National Students Union of India (NSUI) and other students wing staged violent protest demonstration at IPS, situated in the Taxila campus of the university, which forced the police to use mild force to control.

They also wanted the removal of the director of the institute Professor AK Ramani. The demonstration, which was peaceful initially, slowly turned violent. The students entered the institute and started breaking furniture and windows.
Later, on the initiative of ASP Chaturvedi, the student activists handed over a memorandum to the officials present in the campus.
