Overview
- An FIR names a college professor for sexual harassment and senior students for ragging and causing hurt under BNS provisions and Himachal’s anti‑ragging law.
- The 19-year-old died during treatment at a Ludhiana hospital on December 26 after months of illness following alleged assault and harassment.
- The Himachal government suspended the accused assistant professor pending inquiry, and both the state education department and the UGC set up fact‑finding committees.
- Investigators are collecting treatment records, reviewing a hospital video in which the student described alleged indecent acts, and have formed a medical board to study the case.
- The professor denies the allegations and has secured anticipatory bail, while commissions including the SC panel and NCW have sought reports; the college says no prior complaint was filed.
