According to the details, a male student of another institute was sexually assaulted inside an IIUI hostel by two IIUI students. Subsequently, a first information report (FIR) of the incident was filed by the IIUI but only after almost a week of hesitation and administrative politics.
The NA Committee on Education condemned the IIUI administration’s delayed response, for which it recommended that the FIA investigate the case to serve justice to all those involved.
