A controversy has erupted at Delhi University after reports that some first‑year female students allegedly offered money and event tickets in exchange for companionship.
Delhi University has become the focus of a scandal after media reports claimed that a few female freshers allegedly proposed cash payments and tickets to events in return for personal companionship. The allegations, first circulated on social media, have prompted the university administration to issue a statement asserting that it is investigating the matter and urging students to refrain from spreading unverified information.
According to the reports, the alleged offers were made to senior students, with the promise of monetary compensation and access to concerts or sports matches. University officials have not confirmed the identities of the individuals involved, but have emphasized that any form of transactional relationships contravenes the institution's code of conduct.
The university's student affairs department has announced that a formal inquiry will be launched, and that disciplinary action will be taken if the claims are substantiated. Meanwhile, student groups have called for a transparent process and for measures to protect the welfare of all students on campus.
The incident has sparked a broader debate on campus culture and the need for stricter enforcement of ethical standards in higher education institutions across the country.
