A first-year B.Tech student at Delhi’s South Asian University (SAU) has accused four men of sexually assaulting her and attempting to gang-rape her on campus, sending shockwaves through the university community. According to her police complaint, the attack took place in a section of the campus currently under construction.

In a harrowing account, the student said, “The four accused tore my clothes, touched me inappropriately, and tried to gang-rape me.”

Maidan Garhi police received a PCR call around 3 pm on October 13 and immediately dispatched a team to the university. An initial case of molestation was registered and later upgraded to include attempted gang-rape after the victim provided a detailed statement.

Authorities confirmed that CCTV cameras cover most of the campus. Investigators are meticulously reviewing footage from areas identified by the student.

The international institution, which educates students from all eight SAARC member nations, witnessed tense protests on October 13 as students demanded justice. The university administration, which has yet to release a public statement, said it is fully cooperating with authorities.

The incident comes shortly after another sexual assault in Delhi, involving an 18-year-old MBBS student from Haryana who was allegedly raped at a hotel in Adarsh Nagar, further intensifying concerns over women’s safety in the capital.
