JNU teacher accused of sexual harassment and molestation
A teacher at the Jawaharlal Nehru University has been booked for molesting, sexually harassing and threatening a female research scholar, making it the third such case in recent times.
A case was filed on Friday.
“A PhD scholar from JNU filed a police complaint and alleged that she was molested, sexually harassed and threatened allegedly by a professor of the School of Social Sciences of the university. A case under sections 354, 506, and 509 of IPC has been registered,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police Milind Dumbere.
“I am trying to get more details on this,” said Geeta Kumari, the president of JNUSU.
The current JNU-unit president of the RSS-backed Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), Vijay Kumar said the accused teacher is from the group of adult education.
His Facebook post says, “another communist professor and ex-JNUTA (JNU Teachers’ Association) convenor sexually assaulted his student. ABVP demands immediate suspension and arrest of this demon professor.”
“It is a fourth year PhD student who has filed the complaint, as far as we know. The teacher is from the group of adult education at the School of Social Sciences, and had allegedly accessed the complainant’s laptop also at some point to send inappropriate emails. He has also allegedly misbehaved with her. The student has not been able to make submissions either,” said.
