The discovery of more than 100 empty liquor bottles across parts of the Gujarat University (GU) campus has triggered controversy and raised questions about security, supervision, and sanitation at the state-run institution. The university administration has constituted a five-member inquiry committee and sought a detailed report into the incident.
Bottles found near hostels and scholars’ quarters
According to sources, the bottles were found at multiple locations, including the terrace and rear areas of the boys’ hostel D-Block, as well as near quarters and hostels allotted to research scholars. University officials said that while isolated incidents in the past involved the recovery of one or two bottles, this was the first time such a large number—more than 100 bottles—had been found at once.
The scale of the discovery has shocked students, staff and administrators, and has intensified scrutiny of how campus spaces are monitored, particularly residential areas located away from the main administrative zone.
