NEHU research scholar sexually harassed by professor

Normal functioning of the North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) was affected today as students demanded immediate removal of a professor who allegedly sexually harassed a research scholar.
The students complained that a Dean of the School of Social Sciences sexually harassed a research scholar of the History department on August 26.
Following the alleged incident, she made a written complaint to the university authorities that referred the case to the NEHU Women's Cell.
The students under the banner of the North Eastern Hill University Students' Union (NEHUSU) brought out a protest march to the office of the vice-chancellor demanding action against the professor.

In a memorandum submitted to the VC, NEHUSU president Tyrchain Lypon said, "We demand immediate removal of the professor as the Dean, School of Social Sciences. His service as a teacher should also be terminated."
Professor Manmohan Singh, who spoke on behalf of the VC, assured the agitating students that action will be taken once the Women Cell submits its report and recommendation on the issue.
The NEHUSU has served a two-day deadline to the varsity authorities for completing the investigation into the case.
