  "account": "Dr. Javed Akhtar, an associate professor at Punjab University, is accused of allegedly harassing young children residing in the university's family hostel. This accusation comes after CCTV footage emerged showing the professor allegedly kicking a bicycle from a seven-year-old boy, as well as reports of a female complainant alleging repeated harassment of young girls by Dr. Akhtar. Despite receiving multiple complaints from hostel residents, Punjab University's House Allotment Committee has reportedly not taken any severe actions against the professor.

This delay in action has raised serious concerns about the safety of children living in the university's residential hostels.
