New Delhi: About 50 academics and activists have written to President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking a judicial probe into the police baton charge on Banaras Hindu University students last night.

The students were protesting vice-chancellor G.C. Tripathi's alleged shaming of a girl student who had been molested on the campus on Thursday evening.

In their common letter to the President - the Visitor of the university - the Prime Minister and chief minister Yogi Adityanath, the academics have demanded suspension of the superintendent of police and action against other officers.

They have criticised Tripathi for calling the police and for forcibly closing down all the hostels for arts, science and commerce students till October 2.

Among the signatories are activists Aruna Roy and Harsh Mander, and academics Satish Deshpande and Apoorva Anand from Delhi University and Ayesha Kidwai and Nivedita Menon from JNU.

"We demand accountability of the university authorities as students are living and studying within the university premises and their safety has to be guaranteed by the head of the institution," the letter says.

It cites BHU students' allegations of gender discrimination at the hostels, such as "curfew timings" in the girls' hostels, where only vegetarian food is served while the boys' hostels serve non-vegetarian meals.

It says the girls are, unlike the boys, forced to sign affidavits restricting them from participating in protests.

The letter seeks legal action against the molesters, proper lighting of all parts of the campus, continuous patrolling by security guards, and gender-sensitisation of administrative staff and faculty.

Rahul jab

Rahul Gandhi today said the police baton charge at BHU was the BJP's version of " Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao (Save Daughter, Educate Daughter)", referring to a flagship programme of the Modi government, PTI reported.
