MP student tries to end life alleging inaction against college professor who molested her
The 21-year-old college student alleged the principal and 2 professors were threatening her
A 21-year-old college student allegedly slit her wrist in Madhya Pradesh's Sehore district, claiming no action had been taken against a professor who molested her, police said on Thursday.
The incident occurred on Wednesday night, following which the victim, a BA third-year student of a government college here, was rushed to the district hospital, they said.
The student's statement has been recorded and further action is being taken based on it, Sub Divisional Officer of Police Pooja Sharma said.
Speaking to reporters at the hospital, the visibly emotional student alleged that a professor molested her in the college premises on March 10. She claimed that despite lodging a complaint with the college principal, no action was taken.
The student further said she informed about the incident to her mother, who also approached the principal. The college administration resolved the matter after the accused professor apologised, she claimed.
The student said she had been seeking action in the matter and was distressed by the inaction. She also alleged that the principal and two professors had been threatening her.
She said rumours were spread in the college that her mother had accepted Rs 5 lakh from the professor, which she denied.
The student also claimed she had submitted a complaint at the Superintendent of Police's office on March 23 and sought action against the accused professor.
