FIR Registered in Virar College Garba Video Case as Police Probe Obscene Posts

BJP figures circulated the chats with a ‘love jihad’ claim, prompting protests over alleged police inaction.

Overview

  • Police in Virar registered an FIR after videos of girls at New Viva College’s Garba were secretly recorded and shared on Discord with obscene remarks.
  • Initial checks traced the uploads to a student’s mobile phone and WhatsApp number, with indecent comments posted from an account in another student’s name.
  • Officials say they have identified an accused via the platform and are examining the accounts and devices to determine the extent of circulation.
  • Reports state one student was handed over to police, while officers have declined on‑camera comment as student groups stage sit‑ins outside the station.
  • The chats were pushed online by BJP workers and a BJP Yuva Morcha leader alleged a ‘love jihad’ angle, while the college said it has no political affiliation.
