On October 17, the student association of All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) issued an apology after a video of a derogatory Ram Leela skit went viral on social media. The apology was given after netizens started demanding the arrest of the accused students using the hashtag #ArrestAIIMSCulprits on Twitter.
Several complaints were filed after video of the skit went viral on social media where the students were singing Bollywood songs and using derogatory language in the Ramleela skit, distorting the story of Ramayana.
