University suspends boy who circulated girlfriend's video clip

Mumbai, Feb 25 : Amity University has suspended a student who circulated a video clip of his girlfriend stripping, an official said Tuesday.

'It is extremely unfortunate that such an incident took place. We have suspended the student from his course and an enquiry has been instituted. The boy would remain suspended till the enquiry report is submitted,' said Savita Mehta, vice-president, corporate communication, of the university.

The video clip apparently shot with a mobile camera shows the 23-year-old MBA student stripping inside what looks like a bedroom, with a laptop and a music system around.

Students of the institute said the girl had complained to a teacher about the video clip.

Her boyfriend leaked the clip to fellow students through e-mails sent from the girl's ID.

'The boy, whom the girl had trusted with even her e-mail password, logged in to her mail and sent it out to almost her entire contact list,' said the student, who had received the clip.

Girl's version was not available as her mobile phone was switched off.

Psychiatrist Poornima Sahay said this was a classic case of a girl being immature and falling prey to gross misuse of modern technology.

'When some girls fall in love, they believe the relationship is forever. If the boy has bad intentions, he can even get her to pose for such videos. It's just so tragically foolish act. What else can one say?' he said.
