A college professor has been suspended after an FIR was registered against him for allegedly sexually exploiting women students, an official said on Sunday.
Circle Officer Yogendra Krishna Narain said the police registered an FIR against professor Rajnish, the head of geography department in Seth Phool Chand Bagla PG College, Hathras, on March 13 following an anonymous complaint against him alleging that he was involved in sexual exploitation of women.
The FIR was lodged under BNS sections 64 (2) (rape), 68 (sexual intercourse by a person in authority), and 75 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty).
A detailed probe is on into the matter and the police are also trying to trace the anonymous complainant, Narain added.
Pradeep Kumar Bagla, the secretary of Seth Phool Chand Bagla PG College, Hathras, suspended the professor after taking note of the FIR.
The accused professor said that he was facing such allegations for the past 18 months and several investigations were also held.
The professor indulges in obscene acts with women and then exploits them and makes their videos, the complainant said in her letter last week to the Women Commission and other senior officials.
The complainant alleged that she had made complaint against this but no action has been taken yet.
“(Narendra) Modi government supports ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ but even after that such people are committing cruelty with daughters. I am so troubled by this cruel person that sometimes I think of committing suicide,” the complainant said in the letter.
“Please save the girl students… Due to public shame, no girl student will say anything. Therefore, please take strict action against this monster and provide justice to many girls like me,” she added.
The complainant has also sent some photos in which the professor is seen indulging in obscene acts, police said.
This video clips of the professor with young girls are viral on social media.
