The victim stated that she has been pursuing her PhD from the university since 2017. She said ‘For the last 5 years the accused Prof. Khan kept teasing me. Touching me inappropriately, calling me to his office at odd hours, unnecessarily sitting intimately beside me when studying and making inappropriate comments about my clothes and jewellery. Initially, I ignored him, but later I started opposing his inappropriate gestures. Finally, on 1st May when I went to submit my final thesis, Professor Khan, who initially said that all my work was correct from 6 months, suddenly started contradicting me and saying that my research was wrong. Then he started making obscene demands from me. Hence, now the Police are investigating this situation impartially.’

In this case, not only the lustful professor, but also the registrar of the university who is trying to cover-up the professor must be punished. |
