Students of the all-women Gargi College where a group of men broke into the institute during the 'Riverie' fest and allegedly groped, harassed and molested the attendees claimed that security officials just kept watching when the incident took place.

Besides the security arranged for by the college, the area had Delhi Police and paramilitary force personnel who were stationed in the area for the Assembly polls.

A student, who went through the horror said, "A month before the college festival, the student committee that handles the fest told us that the college had arranged for private security. This would be in addition to police security. When the men jumped walls and gatecrashed, the security officials kept watching. They didn't even try to stop those men."
Expressing disappointment with the behaviour of the security personnel there, another student said, "A half-naked man approached towards me. He was not in his senses. He rubbed himself against me and made lewd comments. We ran from one corner of the college to another, screaming, requesting security personnel to help, but none did."
A student said, "The bouncers who were supposed to be on the main gate had left the spot. Before the groups of men entered inside the campus, there were many men who entered through the gate and were found smoking marijuana There was total lapse of security and checking at the gates."
