A Punjab University associate professor is facing allegations of harassing children living in the university’s family hostels, prompting residents to submit a formal complaint to the university administration.
The allegations have raised serious concerns among families residing on campus, with residents calling for an investigation and appropriate action against the faculty member.
CCTV Footage Raises Further Questions
According to reports, CCTV footage from the family hostel has also surfaced, allegedly showing the professor stopping a seven-year-old boy riding a bicycle and kicking the bicycle.
A female complainant has also alleged that the professor has harassed girls living in the university’s family hostel. The complaints have reportedly increased concerns among parents and other residents about children’s safety.
University Administration Faces Questions
Reports indicate that the Punjab University House Allotment Committee issued the professor a show-cause notice more than six months ago. However, residents have expressed dissatisfaction over the lack of strict action.
There are also allegations that a recommendation from a senior Higher Education Commission official influenced the committee’s handling of the matter.
The university administration has yet to publicly establish the allegations through an independent investigation. The claims remain allegations and require proper investigation before any conclusions can be reached.
