MS University campus orders probe over video showcasing student offering 'namaz'
A video of a student allegedly offering namaz on the campus of the Maharaja Sayajirao University (MSU) has surfaced, prompting the university to order a probe by a high-level disciplinary committee. It must be noted that this is the third video that has emerged in less than a month in which a student was seen offering namaz inside the campus.
A university official further said a high-level disciplinary committee has been formed to look into such cases and will verify the authenticity of the latest video, which is undated. The student shown in the clip will also be identified and will be directed to refrain from such activities in the educational institution, MSU public relations officer Lakulish Trivedi said.
“The video came to our notice today (Monday) as there was a holiday on the weekend. We are trying to ascertain where the video was recorded and on what date. The university has formed a high-powered disciplinary committee to look into such cases,” Trivedi said.
“The committee will probe the matter and summon the student for questioning and also offer counselling if required,” he said.
In the third week of December, MSU authorities launched a probe after a video of two students offering namaz on the university campus went viral. Before that, a clip of a couple offering namaz outside the main gate of the Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya on the MSU campus had also emerged on social media.
