The following are the main developments in the Chandigarh University video leak controversy:
On midnight Saturday, Chandigarh University saw a large-scale uprising after students claimed that “private” and “objectionable” videos of a number of female dormitory residents had been posted online.
The students said that there were leaked videos of approximately 60 girls taking baths in the dorm. However, the university said in a statement that only one video had been distributed.

The situation came to light after Chandigarh University’s provost clarified that there had been no suicides or fatalities on campus in a statement.
