Lucknow medical university professor suspended over ‘sexual harassment’ of MD student
Lucknow: A faculty member at medical university in Lucknow has been suspended after a student accused him of sexual harassment.
According to Kashmir Media Service, officials said the administration has referred the matter to its Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) for a probe. This is the third such complaint reported at the institution since December last year.
The medical university spokesperson K K Singh, in a video statement, said an MD student said that a professor of her department sexually harassed her at the workplace.
The development comes only a month after a doctor at the university, Dr Ramizuddin Naik, alias Ramiz Malik, was arrested over allegations of sexual exploitation and religious conversion raised by a fellow doctor, following which the institute recommended his dismissal.
In a separate instance, an intern, Mohammad Adil, was arrested last month in connection with a rape and blackmail case involving a nursing student.
