AGRA: A woman research scholar in Aligarh Muslim University has filed a sexual harassment complaint with the university's Internal Complaint Committee against the head of the department of Petroleum Studies for using filthy language against her, besides asking for her local residential address and accusing her of being involved in "unlawful activities".The professor allegedly insinuated that the woman could be involved in anti-national activities, just like another student who fled the university and joined the ranks of Hizbul Mujahideen In her complaint, the research scholar stated that Hamid Ali , also the president of Aligarh Muslim University Teachers Association, wrote a mail to her asking for her residential address in Aligarh. She said, "It does not make sense to ask for a woman's address unless one has the intention to stalk her, as all posts are delivered at my address for correspondence available with him, in addition to my email id.""The professor has been involved in baseless rumour-mongering about my private life in front of staff and students. He has used derogatory words against me. An assistant professor, Ashraf Mateen, was present when Ali made these remarks," the woman said in her complaint. Mateen admitted that Ali's behaviour towards the woman was inappropriate and he had used abusive language against her several times.University proctor Mohsin Khan said he had marked an inquiry into the incident and a report was yet to come. Ali refused to comment on the complaint filed by the research scholar.
