**Senior Students at IET Allegedly Coerce Juniors into Posting Defamatory Content and Vandalism**

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): In a shocking revelation, senior students at the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) have allegedly forced their juniors to create fake social media accounts and post defamatory content against the institute and Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV).

According to reports, the juniors were also compelled to vandalise hostel property, including CCTV cameras and DVRs.

The institute’s Anti-Ragging Committee initiated an investigation following complaints of alleged ragging. Preliminary findings suggest that final-year students coerced juniors into creating fake Instagram, X, and Facebook accounts. The juniors were instructed to make two to three posts daily targeting the institution.

Sources reveal that the seniors summoned the juniors to a café outside the campus, where they threatened them and issued strict instructions via a WhatsApp group. These instructions detailed the juniors’ conduct in the hostel as well as the content that needed to be posted online.

During the inquiry, mobile phone checks uncovered chat records confirming the seniors’ orders. The committee has identified final-year students Adarsh Makwana, Aditya Sharma, Aman Patel, and Vivek Sharma as the prime accused in this matter.

The Anti-Ragging Committee has recommended recovering damages from the juniors who carried out the vandalism. Meanwhile, the university has decided to file a formal complaint at Bhawarkuan police station over attempts to malign the institution’s reputation.

Police are currently conducting a detailed probe into the case. Further updates are awaited as the investigation progresses.
