Bennett University Opens Probe Into Viral Slapping Video

Police say they will act once a formal complaint arrives.

Overview

  • A widely shared video from a private Greater Noida campus shows several female students slapping and verbally abusing another student inside a room.
  • The university set up an internal enquiry panel to verify the clip and identify those involved, with officials saying a report is due in four to five days.
  • Registrar Ajay Kumar Yadav said the episode was an interpersonal dispute rather than ragging and announced the accused student’s rustication, with a broader inquiry underway.
  • A second clip features the student identified online as Siddhi stating she has been rusticated, which renewed public anger, as some posts also claimed fines for other students.
  • Noida Police said the footage appears 10–12 days old and that officers will proceed after a formal complaint is filed, while the National Crime Investigation Bureau urged a high-level probe and an FIR.
