Chandigarh, Sep 18 (IANS): A woman hosteller of a private university in Punjab's Mohali was arrested on Sunday for making porn videos on her phone of at least eight fellow hosteller while taking bath.

She illegally sent the nude images and videos to a male friend in Shimla, resulting in the footage being circulated online.

As students came to know that their photos went viral, there was a ruckus at Chandigarh University in Mohali overnight with crowds of hostellers staging a massive protest. Students shouted slogans: 'We want justice'.
