Mandsaur, Oct 17 (NationPress) - On Friday, Congress activists stirred significant unrest during a demonstration following revelations of a disturbing incident involving the secret filming of girl students while they were changing clothes in a room at a government college during a youth festival in Madhya Pradesh's Mandsaur.

On October 15, the district police apprehended three students suspected of being involved in this incident.

That Friday evening, a considerable crowd of Congress members gathered at the Bhanpur Government College to protest against the ABVP and the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) in Madhya Pradesh.

During the protest, they attempted to set fire to an effigy of Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, but police intervened to prevent this action.

This police intervention incited further anger among the protesters, leading to heated exchanges with law enforcement.

In response, police swiftly took action, using a fire extinguisher to extinguish the burning effigy and disperse the crowd.

Congress MLA Vipin Jain, who was present at the protest, accused the police of infringing on the constitutional rights of party members.

Earlier, on Wednesday, the Bhanpura police station received a complaint regarding the secret filming of girl students while they changed costumes in a designated area during preparations for the ongoing youth festival at the college.

The in-charge of Bhanpura police confirmed that, following the complaint, three of the four accused students were arrested and charged under Sections 77 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which address voyeurism and crimes committed by multiple individuals with common intent.

All three arrested student leaders have since been placed in judicial custody, and local police have dispatched the seized cellphone for forensic examination to determine if it contained additional incriminating videos.
