Varanasi: A student of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) was allegedly molested on the campus. Police have detained two youths in this connection.
The victim and her friend informed the university's Proctorial Board, which in turn had lodged a complaint at Lanka police station. After this, police initiated a probe and detained two youths, who are presently being questioned.
The accused, identified as Sanjay Sahni and Vimlesh Sahni, are both residents of Naya Basti under Lagta police station area, police said.
