The PIL was filed by Haridwar resident Sachchidananda Dabral after a video went viral on social media purportedly showing students standing in a queue on the college campus with hands tied and heads shaven.
However, college authorities have denied the occurrence of any such incident. They have also said that no complaint has been filed in connection with the incident. Students seen with tonsured heads in the video said they shaved off their heads due to "dandruff and allergies".
