Even as the #metoo movement continues to gain momentum, an alleged incident of moral policing-cum-harassment at SNDT Women's University has left everyone shocked — a residential student at its Juhu campus was questioned by the hostel warden for wearing a knee-length dress and later asked to strip to prove her skin infection, when the girl cited that as the reason for wearing the garment.

The incident came to light after more than 400 students held a protest on campus and demanded the warden's sacking. Sensing students' anger, and to avoid any untoward incident, authorities called the police on campus.
