The incident was brought to light after a female student filed a complaint against her roommates, citing mental harassment and administrative inaction.

According to reports, the incident occurred in February 2025, when a student residing in a four-person hostel room found that three of her roommates regularly consumed alcohol and smoked inside the premises. Feeling uncomfortable and distressed, she initially reported the matter to the hostel administration and the registrar, but no strict action was taken at the time.
