According to sources you can file a complaint with the college complaints committee if the matter pertains to your college or university. You can also approach the police. Meanwhile if the act takes place outside during a college or university event, or any other place where a person is participating in the capacity of an employee or student, it is covered by the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC).



Sources have stated that the 2015 UGC regulations state that Indian colleges and universities need to have an Internal Complaints Committee that will conduct inquiries into sexual harassment complaints from students, faculty and non-teaching staff. The committee is also required to provide assistance to complainants if they want to file a complaint with the police.

Moreover if the complainant decides to approach the principal or any faculty member, they must direct the case to the ICC. All sexual harassment complaints on campus are required to be handled only by the ICC. There cannot be two college committees while dealing with sexual harassment complaints.
