Delhi University students marched near Rajdhani College on October 1, seeking justice following a reported sexual assault and stronger safety measures. PTI’s report that evening described a women-only, student-organised demonstration. Organisers excluded political groups and advertised a route towards Shivaji College.
The new march continued a wider debate about harassment during everyday travel. The PIE News reported on October 1 that students described being followed on motorcycles, facing catcalling and avoiding poorly lit routes between accommodation, classrooms and transport.
The education publication also reported students’ union demands for improved lighting, regular patrols and maintained women’s police-assistance booths. These concerns put practical access to public spaces alongside calls for justice.
The reviewed reports provided neither a verified turnout nor a new university or police response to this particular march. They do not establish completion of the advertised route. Details that could identify the survivor are withheld.
