Amid students’ protests alleging a cover-up of a gang rape attempt on campus on October 12, the South Asian University (SAU) on Thursday (October 16) issued orders “relieving” the Warden of the Girls’ Hostel from her responsibilities of wardenship “with immediate effect”.

The Assistant (Girls’ Hostel) has also been suspended until the University’s internal Enquiry Committee submits its report.

Students have been demanding the suspension and consequent termination of both officials — Warden Rinkoo Devi Gupta and Assistant Anupma Arora — for alleged victim-blaming and “deliberately delaying” the filing of an FIR, along with “evidence tampering” and “insensitive conduct” towards the complainant.
