They informed AP Mines Minister K Ravindra that the school had threatened them not to lodge complaints. The minister, accompanied by district officials, assured the students that a thorough investigation would be conducted.
Protests erupt as students demand justice
Since Thursday evening, hundreds of students have been protesting and refusing to attend classes until the issue is resolved. The students, who expressed their distrust towards the university administration, vowed to continue their protests until justice is served. Ravindra promised that the truth would be known and the culprits would face consequences.
CM orders investigation, police investigate
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has ordered a thorough investigation into the allegations and has instructed the authorities to take strict action if the allegations of hidden cameras are confirmed.

A special investigation team has been formed and electronic devices of the suspects have been seized for examination.
