COLLEGE festivals are supposed to be fun. Exuberant students turn up at their campus to enjoy themselves in a spirt of camaraderie. Or so it should be. But the Indraprastha College for Women’s (IPCW) recent annual cultural festival, Shruti, was a hellish experience for its students.
On March 28, the second day of the festival, a large number of men barged into this women-only campus, scaling walls from all directions — the sportsfields, the hostel and other areas. They seemed to be in thousands, such was the shock they caused.
Girls were groped and abused. . .
