Assam University professor Biswajit Das detained for sexually harassing a student, leading to protests demanding strict action.
Professor Biswajit Das from the Law Department at Assam University in Silchar has been detained. He faces charges of sexually harassing a 6th-semester BA.LLB student. The incident allegedly took place two days ago within the Law Department.
The detention came after a strong protest by students, who were upset that the university and police initially took no action after the victim’s complaint. The students’ union president highlighted that similar issues had occurred in the past without significant consequences.
In response to the recent case and referencing a similar incident in West Bengal, the students’ union is calling for strict action against such cases of harassment.
