video is NOT FAKE. I spent hours with one of the women seen in the viral video. She described vividly what the mob did to them. The leaked video is forcing the women to relive the horrors of that day which they are trying to forget.
Sadly, these are not the only two women who were abused. There are at least six alleged cases of rape, but no inquiry has been initiated so far. In one of the cases, the hospital records confirm

For the last 2 years, DU colleges are a battlefield for queer students. At the heart of it is a demand for officially recognised queer collectives. But it is met with resistance, ignorance, indifference, and even threats by the authorities.

The point of a Section 144 order is that it needs to be localised, based upon an imminent threat or fear of violence in a *specific area*. A Section 144 that effectively spans the entire State of UP and 200 million people is illegal - it's an erasure of rights.
