Assam Down Town University Suspends 5 Manipur Students Over Sexual Assault Allegations
In a bold move to keep its campus safe, Assam Down Town University (ADTU) in Guwahati has suspended five students from Manipur. Officials say the students face accusations of unlawful activities, including a shocking sexual assault case involving a girl from Tripura. This happened on September 18, and the university acted fast to address the complaints.
The suspension kicked in from September 17. It stops these diploma and degree students from joining classes, working on projects, or taking part in any campus events. ADTU made it clear that the ban stays until police file a formal charge sheet. In a statement, the university stressed this step protects discipline and creates a secure space for everyone learning there.
ADTU’s team promised to follow up with punishments based on university rules and what the police find. They also highlighted their zero-tolerance policy for any illegal acts on campus—no exceptions.
Things heated up when a video hit social media, showing other students calling out the accused. The clip spread like wildfire online, kicking off big talks about campus safety and how schools handle such issues. Now, students and parents are worried, pushing for tougher rules on discipline and better protection for those at risk, especially in harassment or sexual violence cases.
Student groups at ADTU are speaking out too, demanding strict action against misconduct. The university’s leaders asked everyone to stay calm and help with the probe. They assured the community that protecting everyone’s rights and respect is their top priority.
This isn’t just an isolated story. Universities in Northeast India are dealing with growing worries about student behavior, social media drama, and how online videos blow up campus fights. Experts say the ADTU incident shows why schools need stronger ways to prevent problems, not just punish them after the fact.
As the investigation rolls on, all eyes are on how ADTU balances justice with a safe learning vibe for its students.
