The Jawaharlal Nehru University expelled two students and rusticated a third for their involvement in a scandal involving a pornographic clip.

The Jawaharlal Nehru University today expelled two students and rusticated a third for their involvement in a scandal involving a pornographic clip after an internal inquiry committee submitted its report to the Vice Chancellor.

The inquiry committee headed by Chief Proctor H B Bohidar submitted its report to Vice Chancellor S K Sopory and recommended that the three students involved in the filming and circulation of the objectionable video clip be issued charge sheets.

The two students,who were earlier suspended for their involvement in the filming of the video and the making of a CD were expelled,while a third student who had provided his room for use in the incident was rusticated for one year,Dean of Students V K Jain said.

He said a copy of the report was also being sent to the South West Delhi Police.

The video clip circulating around the campus showed two students in a compromising position.

The university also filed a formal complaint with the police on the basis of its findings.

“We have also recommended that the cyber crime cell of Delhi Police should investigate the larger angle of how the video was circulated and uploaded on the Internet and the related issues of the case,” Bohidar said.
