A postgraduate student of Bangalore University was allegedly found walking without clothes in the women’s hostel on Jnana Bharathi campus on Sunday night. The student has been admitted to NIMHANS for an examination.

According to sources in the university, the third semester communications student was allegedly walking without clothes in the women’s hostel when a home guard on duty told him to return to his hostel. Students also said he was allegedly beaten up by the home guard and later, some of his friends took him to NIMHANS.

“We were shocked. The university should improve security arrangements,” said a student who lives in the hostel. Students registered their protest with the university authorities. Sources said BU had initially employed a private security agency for the security of students. Recently, BU decided to vest this responsibility with the home guards. After the private agency approached the court, BU now has both home guards and agency personnel patrolling the campus. BU has ordered an inquiry. Vice Chancellor K.R. Venugopal termed it a “minor” issue.
