JNU students accuse professor of sexual harassment, 11 complaints filed; probe underway
The complaints were submitted to JNU’s Internal Complaints Committee (ICC), which is tasked with examining allegations of sexual harassment, in May.
Eleven JNU students have filed complaints of sexual harassment against a professor to the university's Internal Complaints Committee. The allegations were made in May, and the ICC has since launched an investigation, according to university sources. The JNU administration has not commented on the matter. This follows a previous sexual harassment case at the university in April, where four staff members, including a teaching faculty member named Swaran Singh, were dismissed.
Singh was accused of sexually harassing a Japanese official from the Embassy of Japan. The previous case led to Singh's termination due to a clear evidence against him, with multiple complaints made against him in the past. A senior faculty member, speaking anonymously, stated that the alleged incident occurred in May 2024 and that the committee held an extensive investigation, giving both parties the chance to present witnesses.
