Students took to the streets in the southern state of Tamil Nadu in India after several videos that showed sexual assaults on college girls were posted online.
A throng of women's rights campaigners demanded the authorities on March 14 to quickly investigate the assaults and also provide protection to the victims. Many of the victims in the videos have since been identified based on the footage.
The outraged campaigners increased their protest after the authorities said that the footage was a part of a larger scheme by a group of men who became friends with female college students on social media, met them in person, committed sexual assaults, and then finally used the footage to blackmail the victims, reported the Daily Mail.
