New Delhi, April 17: In a new twist to the semen-balloon controversy, Forensic Science Laboratory confirmed that the balloons did not contain semen. The report stated that no semen could be detected on the exhibit which was submitted in connection with the case of semen-filled balloons being thrown at two students of Lady Sri Ram College on the eve of Holi in February.

Two students of Lady Sri Ram College s had alleged that balloons with sticky substance were thrown at them on February 28. The students believed that balloons were filled semen. The girls filed complaint against the girl who allegedly threw these balloons. The girl who threw balloon was then asked to issue a written apology. Many people raised doubt of having balloons filled with semen.

After the incident one of the girls told ANI, “The balloons that were thrown at us had some kind of gooey material coming out of them. We have taken a written apology from the family of the girl who threw these balloons. We need to change the mindset of people who say that throwing balloons at someone is merely a mark of celebrating Holi. It is very inappropriate.” After the news went viral anti-government voices condemned the action blaming government for its ideology of Hindutva. Many organisations also staged protests against this act. While Nupur Sharma, spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party had raised questions on the allegation by the students of Lady Sri Ram College.
