DU prof sent on leave after student claims inappropriate conduct
New Delhi: A professor at Delhi University’s Satywati College has been sent on “forced leave” following a complaint of alleged inappropriate behaviour towards a woman student.
The complaint has been sent to the college’s Internal Complaints Committee (ICC).
“As per what we have heard, the professor was one of the expected applicants for the vice principal post in the college,” a faculty member said on the condition of anonymity.
“Whether the complaint holds true, will of course be examined by the ICC in due course, but he apparently sent some literature by Saadat Hasan Manto to the student, which might be part of a regular exercise,” the faculty member added.
The student had filed the complaint on November 2, two days after the alleged incident.
This comes mere days after an assistant professor from DU’s Daulat Ram College was also placed on mandatory leave, following a complaint of sexual harassment, molestation and alleged intimidation regarding academic retaliation. The case is with the ICC as well.
There was no immediate response from Satyawati College’s principal, Subhash Kumar Singh, regarding the issue.
