Protesters seek action against HoD in sexual harassment case

Bhatinda | Sunday | 17th November, 2019

Summary:

Accusing the police and the district administration of shielding the suspect in the case, the protesters announced that they would continue the dharna till action was taken against the suspect. Despite the DC had asked the Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) to conduct an inquiry into the allegations about two month ago, the probe made no headway, alleged the protesters. In a complaint to the police last month, the MO had alleged that since 2016 when she was selected for a postgraduate (PG) course here, she was being harassed by the HoD on one pretext or another. After I applied for a post of tutor in the department, I needed the recommendation of the HoD for my application. The HoD had denied the allegations.
