The alleged incident occurred on 31 October and the student filed a formal complaint on 2 November. The college administration has referred the matter to the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) for investigation. Faculty members said the accused professor was among potential applicants for the vice-principal post. The complaint reportedly involves the professor sending the student works by author Saadat Hasan Manto, which may have been part of a regular academic exercise. The professor has told the ICC the allegations are false and fabricated.
