A day after the shocking incident of harassment of girl students at a premier management institute was revealed, the institute has swung into action. Starting with instructing the technology service provider to look into the matter, the management has also approached the police for strict action.
The students, whose semester-end exams started on January 2, received messages from someone who claimed to be their exam proctor. The said person then stalked the girls on social media and posted comments on their physical appearance. Besides harassment, a complaint like this, raises serious concerns on privacy and data security in times of online learning during the pandemic.
