Sources said, more than 1,000 alumni members of the university signed a petition demanding action against those involved. One of the members mentioned in a tweet that the letter was sent to the management demanding that the multiple accounts of sexual assault, sexism, medical negligence be addressed. They also demanded a child rights committee be formed as most first year students are below 18. The administration was yet to respond to it.
