Meerut. Ramesh Kumar, a second year student of Ghaseeta Ram Engineering College has been watching porn movies continuously for the last 100 hours. Ever since his room-mate Vijay told him that internet pornography may get banned, he hasn’t come out of his room and is watching porn movies stored on his computer.
Recently, A public interest litigation (PIL) had been filed in Indian Supreme Court seeking a ban on Internet pornography and making the watching of it a non-bailable offense.
Speaking to Faking News, Ramesh’s friend Vijay said, “Last week I mentioned to him that watching porn may soon become a non-bailable offense, he immediately excused himself, went to his room and switched on his computer. He hasn’t come out of his room since. It has been 100 hours now and we haven’t seen or heard from him. Only sound we hear outside his room is of porn movies being played inside.”
When we asked how he knew that these sounds were from porn movies, Vijay just smiled and said, “Sir, don’t insult engineering students. We can tell by looking at a CD whether there is porn in that CD or not.”
For these four days, the only one who has heard Ramesh’s voice is the college canteen owner, Billu Halwai. Billu told us that Ramesh has been calling him on his mobile and asking for 1 Paneer Butter Masala, 3 Butter Rotis, 1 Coke bottle and few tissues at regular intervals of time. The food and the tissues are delivered to Ramesh’s hostel room.
Ramesh is not the only one worried about a possible porn ban, several students shared their anxieties with us.
“This is getting ridiculous. First they told us not to consume booze or weed and now they say don’t watch porn. What kind of education system is this?” said Phoon Sukh, a first-year mechanical engineering student.
Another student, Samrat Sharma said, “I spent my entire first year downloading porn in the hostel. I even had to buy 3 external hard disks to store it all. Now I have 2 TB of porn and I may not even get to watch it all? This is against our basic human rights.”
As of now, many students are silently speaking against it but a protest at Jantar-Mantar hasn’t been ruled out either.
Meanwhile, a prayer meeting was held in the common room of boys’ hostel to pray for the health of Ramesh Kumar.
