Symbiosis Nagpur Professor Placed on Leave Amid Inquiry into Messaging Allegations
A professor at Symbiosis Law School's Nagpur campus was placed on leave pending an inquiry into allegations of sending inappropriate messages to female students and urging them to follow Islam. The university formed a high-powered committee to investigate, including claims from his previous tenure in Hyderabad. Despite protests by right-wing groups like the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad demanding action, no formal police complaint or evidence has been submitted. The professor has resigned, and further steps await the inquiry's findings.
