NLSIU Bangalore students will now have a 7 pm curfew on leaving campus, agreed Bangalore University (BU) authorities and the NLSIU management yesterday.[TOI]
The measure comes in the wake of Saturday’s alleged rape of a second-year NLSIU student by seven to eight unidentified persons in the forest adjoining the law school campus, where she was out with her friend after 10 PM.
NLSIU students have demanded deployment of the police or Central Industrial Security Forces in place of the current private security guards manning the college gates. The bigger IIM and IISc campuses in Bangalore do not enjoy such cover, although those are not next to forest land like NLSIU is. [India Today]
Yesterday Legally India reported on the victim-blaming tone adopted by the police, the media and BU throughout investigations into the incident, after BU threatened to evict NLSIU from its campus.

I wake up at 2 PM in the afternoon. Damn. :/
Also rather (sadly) amused that the authorities seem to think that rape is a problem after 7pm only.
May Lord be with us.
NLSIU campus has good security and this hasn't happened within the University. However as I ve already said, a student's security is dependant on several extraneous happenings. If these are not done, I don't know what PROGRESSIVE step you are expecting from an University which is pushed to the corner for no fault of it's.
Eviction - lol.
