Women Students Of DU College Claim Men Scaled Walls, Harassed Them During Fest

Indraprastha College of Women students have claimed that several men scaled boundaries of the college during a fest and harassed them.

Students at the Indraprastha College of Women, Delhi University, have claimed that during a college fest on Tuesday, March 28, several men scaled the boundary walls of the college, and harrassed several students, news agency PTI reported. 

The students of the college were also reported as saying that the college administration and the police did not respond to the matter. Activists from the All India Students Association (AISA) have further alleged that the men chanted slogans like "Miranda, IP dono hamara (Miranda House and Indraprastha College both are ours)" and "Miranda nahi chhoda to IP bhi nahi chhodenge (We didn't leave Miranda, we won't leave IP either)".

In a similar incident in October 2022, Delhi University’s Miranda House College students claimed that men scaled boundaries and gates of the college during an open diwali fest. The men allegedly cat-called students in the campus and indulged in sexist sloganeering. 

Former Indraprastha College of Women student and AISA’s Delhi University unit secretary, Anjali, also shared purported evidence of the incident. An image shared by her showcases four men standing near the IPCW boundary wall, and one scaling the boundary wall of the college. In another video clip, police could be seen asking college students to vacate the premises. 

“Today, IPCW's fest was going when drunk men climbed the walls, forcefully entered the campus and harrassed Gender minorities. Men were chanting "Miranda IP dono hamara" ,"Miranda nahi chhoda to IP bhi nahi chhodenge," Anjali tweeted. 

Another student of the college was reported alleging as "Miscreants entered the IPCW fest today and harassed several women students, injuring one. Delhi Police has simply escorted the goons out. We demand their immediate arrest.
