An inquiry committee constituted by the university concluded that it was unlikely that hostel students were responsible, citing their circumstances and the lack of direct evidence. The committee suggested that outsiders may have dumped the bottles, as the rear side of the hostel was open and poorly monitored.Based on the report, the university announced measures including a high boundary wall, additional CCTV cameras, entry checks, a separate parking zone, and replacement of the existing security agency to strengthen campus safety.
