SRFTI Students Allege Secret Filming by Guard and Police Amid Campus Protests
Students at the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) protested after alleging a security guard secretly filmed them, including women, on his mobile phone around midnight Wednesday. They also accused police deployed on campus to protect the vice-chancellor of photographing and recording students. The institute's registrar, Deepak Kumar, denied misuse, stating police presence was for safety amid prior incidents of vandalism and intimidation. He said security was instructed to record public areas to prevent further damage, while students occupying the campus were deemed to be illegally present.
