Labourer arrested for harassing two MBBS interns in Haryana college
A labourer has been arrested for allegedly sexually harassing and assaulting two female MBBS interns at Bhagat Phool Singh Government Medical College for Women in Khanpur Kalan, Haryana. Police said the incidents occurred on the night of August 15, within minutes of each other, as the interns walked separately on campus. The accused, who worked at an under-construction site, was taken into custody on August 16.
Students protested outside the institute director's office on Tuesday, demanding better security and more guards on campus. A protesting student said that despite assurances from authorities, no additional guards or lights had been installed at the spot. Police have registered a case under BNS Sections 74 and 78.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources report the same facts from the police account, with no discernible slant or omission. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, sticking to the FIR, the protest, and student quotes. Hindustan Times and Telangana Today carry the student's full statement, including the criticism that assurances were not followed up, NDTV gives only the police version. The measured takeaway is that the incident is a stark reminder of safety gaps on medical campuses, even after the Kolkata rape-murder case. Watch if the Haryana government orders a security audit or if the protest spreads to other colleges.
