Delhi University Cancels PhD Registration of Scholar Accused of Assaulting Professor
Delhi University cancelled the PhD registration of research scholar Shubham Singh and barred him from campus for three years following an enquiry into his alleged assault on Professor Anupam Jha on August 17, 2026. The university examined CCTV footage, medical reports, and statements, noting Singh's prior disciplinary issues. Singh was suspended immediately after the incident and did not provide a satisfactory explanation during the inquiry.
