While Kerala has seen its share of cases, the problem is part of a larger, alarming pattern across India. In recent years, similar shocking incidents have been reported in other states:
The KUFOS incident sparked immediate outrage among students. Female students issued an ultimatum to the university administration, threatening to protest in front of the administrative block if their safety demands were not met. The students union also extended support to the protest movement.
Reports suggest that several colleges across Kerala have been affected by this menace, with many students coming forward to share their own experiences of being secretly filmed in bathroom stalls or changing rooms. The videos, often captured using tiny cameras or smartphones, have been found to be circulating on social media groups, with some even being sold or traded among individuals.
The authorities, including the police and college administrations, have been criticized for their handling of the issue. Initially, there was a delay in responding to the complaints, and in some cases, the victims were even blamed for the incidents. However, as the issue gained momentum, the authorities have been forced to take action, with several arrests made and investigations launched.
