He was suspected of blackmailing the accused woman student, said the DGP.

Based on forensic and digital evidence, a Mohali police team was dispatched to Arunachal Pradesh to arrest the accused. Police also obtained a two-day transit remand of the accused from the court of chief judicial magistrate (CJM), Bomdila.

“The guilty in this case will not be spared and justice will prevail,” said the DGP. Police had earlier arrested three people, a girl student and two men, from Himachal Pradesh.

Protests had rocked the university campus in Punjab’s Mohali last week over allegations levelled by students that a hostel inmate recorded several objectionable videos of students in the common washroom.

Some students had even claimed that the videos were leaked. However, the university administration rejected these claims, calling them “false and unfounded”.
