Sonepat, September 21

A professor of the microbiology department at Bhagat Phool Singh (BPS) Medical College for Women at Khanpur in Sonepat allegedly misbehaved and used abusive language with the girl students of MBBS (second year) during the class.

With no action by the college administration, students of all batches went on a strike today and demanded the termination of the assistant professor with immediate effect. The incident occurred on September 16 when Dr Sumit Kumar of the microbiology department was taking a class of MBBS (second year) students.

Students said during the interactive session, Dr Kumar was asking them questions and they were clapping and whistling to buck up their classmates. “After the class, the professor left. He returned within seconds and started hurling abuses at us,” the students alleged.

Students informed about the incident to their seniors and submitted a complaint to the college director. They also gave an audio recording as an evidence. They also went to Rohtak and submitted a complaint to the VC of the University for Health Science.
