Overview
- Police registered an FIR on January 1 based on the father’s complaint, booking three students under the state anti‑ragging law and hurt provisions and a professor under BNS Section 75 for sexual harassment.
- Investigators are reviewing medical files, video evidence and witness statements, with teams sent to Ludhiana to obtain treatment records as officials work to determine the cause of death.
- The accused assistant professor has denied the allegations, was suspended by the state education department, and has secured anticipatory bail while continuing to be questioned by police.
- A video attributed to the student from a hospital setting, in which she accuses the professor of indecent acts and intimidation, catalyzed the multi‑agency response now under way.
- The college says it received no written complaints before the death and notes the student stopped attending in July 2025 and was struck off the rolls in August, even as statutory bodies and civic groups press for an impartial, time‑bound probe including possible caste‑based abuse.
