Chandigarh University video ‘leak’: 4th suspect, another photo crop up in probe

Even as the police have taken the three suspects — the Chandigarh University girl and two Himachal youths — on remand, they are now investigating the role of a fourth suspect, besides the “photo” of another girl, as part of their investigation into the video “leak” case.

Bhatti, Superintendent of Police (Counter Intelligence), said: “The SIT questioned the suspects today and the girl admitted to having made and shared her video with Sunny (her friend). Rankaj was calling on her phone number and asking for photos and videos. We are awaiting the forensic report to corroborate this with the investigation.” As for the fourth suspect, Bhatti said: “Yes, we are working on it. It is part of our investigation.”

The police today visited the scene to investigate the matter further. During the investigation, it has come to light the university girl and Sunny were friends. Sunny and Rankaj, too, were friends, but the girl wasn’t “well-acquainted” with the latter. The police were also investigating whether “threat calls” were allegedly made to some students of the university from a Canadian phone number regarding the leaked videos. The students were purportedly threatened to keep mum or their videos would be released.
