She maintained that the said HoD often told the female staff and post-graduate students to come to his office “to show their faces to him”.
“One of the health workers from the department threatened to jump from his office building in front of others and myself,” she added.The professor has alleged in the complaint that the HoD had been mentally harassing her despite the fact that she was doing her duties sincerely.
