On social media, a short video purporting to show the warden reprimanding the girl child for capturing the event has also gained a lot of attention.

Numerous students demonstrated just outside of the dormitory later that evening, calling for the convicted student to be punished and given justice. After losing control of the situation, university administrators called the cops, who showed up on campus and attempted to calm the protesting students. In the meantime, two students who thought the suspected girl students were filming them passed into unconsciousness and were transported by ambulance to the civic center in Ghauran.

It is known to occur in very rare instances following certain types of vaccines and also from other causes. According to the WHO, adenovirus vector vaccines, in particular, have rarely been associated with this condition.”

Various symptoms associated with TTS include neurological deficits, shortness of breath, leg swelling, abdominal pain, and severe headaches.

TTS can be diagnosed if blood tests are conducted to assess the levels of platelets in the blood. Moreover, to detect blood clots, imaging studies are required, reported the Times of India.
