Delhi LG suspends medical college professor accused of sexual harassment

Lieutenant-Governor V.K. Saxena approved the suspension of an assistant professor of a medical college in a case of alleged sexual harassment with “immediate effect”, Raj Niwas sources said on Saturday.

Official sources added that the L-G had taken action in the case “despite the administrative and governance paralysis prevalent in the city, with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in jail”.

A case had been registered against the assistant professor on February 22 after a 22-year-old MBBS student had filed a complaint against him, alleging that he had touched her inappropriately and made sexual remarks while conducting her viva examination on January 31.

The student had claimed that no action had been taken against the accused despite her bringing the incident to the college administration’s notice. Other women who have suffered a similar ordeal were threatened by the accused into silence, the complainant also told the police.
