The situation at the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL) has escalated into a significant conflict between students and university authorities, culminating in the decision to close the institution until further notice. This move comes amid ongoing protests led by female students, who are demanding the resignation of the Vice-Chancellor (VC) following serious allegations of privacy violations.

The protests began on Sunday afternoon, when students accused the Vice-Chancellor of conducting an inspection of the female hostel without proper notice, an action they deem inappropriate, especially since parents were not allowed inside the hostel. Students reported that during this unannounced visit, the VC made inappropriate comments regarding their appearance, an act they found completely unacceptable. The gravity of these allegations has sparked widespread unrest, leading to a sit-in protest that has now entered its third day.

Despite the university's decision to declare a holiday, the students have remained steadfast in their demands, setting up a tent at the university gate and vowing not to back down until their voices are heard. The atmosphere on campus has been tense, with security personnel barricading the main gates to prevent outsiders from entering the premises, further fueling the students’ frustrations.

In response to the growing unrest, RGNUL has formed a committee to address the grievances raised by the students. However, discussions between the protesting students and university officials on Monday failed to produce any substantial results, leading to continued protests. The students have also taken the significant step of writing a letter to the Chief Justice of India and the Bar Association, appealing for intervention in the matter.

This situation marks a critical moment in RGNUL's history, being the first of its kind at the university. The ongoing protests are a reflection of deeper concerns regarding the treatment of female students and the responsibilities of university authorities in safeguarding their privacy and dignity.

The university administration is under pressure to resolve this issue promptly, yet no police complaints have been filed thus far. Students remain adamant about their demand for the VC's resignation, emphasizing the need for accountability and a safe educational environment.

As the situation unfolds, the resolution of this conflict will likely have lasting implications for both the university's administration and the broader discourse on student rights and institutional accountability in India.
