Yadav is a civil engineering undergraduate at the Northumbria University in Newcastle, United Kingdom.
Udkarsh Yadav, a student in Newcastle, has admitted to the burglary and the sex act.

Overview

  • Udkarsh Yadav used a gym keycard glitch to enter a fellow student’s room and masturbate on her bed covers and three teddy bears during the Christmas holidays.
  • DNA evidence collected from the scene matched Yadav’s genetic material, leading him to confess that he had been “overcome with desire.”
  • Newcastle Crown Court imposed a 14-month sentence suspended for two years, requiring 200 hours of unpaid work, rehabilitation sessions and £117 in compensation.
  • Following the conviction, the university moved Yadav to alternative housing and initiated disciplinary proceedings that could result in expulsion.
  • His continued stay in the UK now depends on the outcome of the disciplinary review as his student visa risks revocation.
