The students of Gargi College will meet the Delhi Commission For Women on Saturday to get a status update in the commission's probe into the alleged molestation incident at the all-women college during a cultural festival, according to the panel. The women's panel had issued a notice to the college principal over the incident and asked her to reply till February 25.
Some student representatives will meet the panel on Saturday to get a status update on the panel's probe in the matter. The students had boycotted classes after the incident. Now, they are holding hour-long boycotts since some students have their examinations in April.

A fact-finding committee constituted by the college has submitted its preliminary report after recording 600 testimonies. A final report is still awaited.
