According to a report of Hindustan Times, The student alleged that despite the college filing multiple complaints that led to the man's arrest, he is reportedly released every three months and continues to repeat his behavior. “When we asked the college to take stricter action, we were told that even the police are ‘fed up’ and ‘frustrated’ with his acts and that he does this on purpose to go to jail and get free food,” the post concluded.
