Nirma University Obscene Act Case: Police Register FIR After Girl Hostel Student’s Complaint

Day after a girl hostel student at Nirma University complained about an unidentified man allegedly engaging in an obscene act near the under-construction H-5 building, the Sola High Court Police have now registered an FIR in connection with the incident.

The case was registered after the university’s Chief Security Officer, Jayrambhai Karshanbhai Desai, 62, approached the police following the student’s complaint and the video of the alleged act.

The accused remains unidentified and has been booked under Sections 110 and 117 of the Gujarat Police Act.

Construction Workers Questioned

Following registration of the FIR, police have begun efforts to identify the accused. Since construction work is underway at the H-5 building, police are questioning workers and labourers engaged at the site separately.

Investigators are also examining the video recorded by the student and other available information to establish the identity of the person allegedly involved.

The FIR marks a formal police investigation into the incident that was earlier brought to the university’s attention by the student.
