Overview
- The university’s Proctor’s Office issued the final order on November 13 cancelling Shubham Singh’s PhD registration and immediately barring him from campus, admissions and university examinations for three years.
- An independent enquiry set up after the August 17 incident reviewed CCTV footage, a medico‑legal report, the professor’s complaint and a written statement from the Dean before submitting findings that the assault should not be seen as isolated.
- The committee reported that Professor Anupam Jha had no direct supervisory link to the scholar and that Singh had prior disciplinary violations on record, factors the university cited when accepting the recommendations.
- The panel said Singh was given repeated chances to respond by email and phone but failed to submit a substantive representation and sent at least one reply the committee described as abusive.
- An FIR from the August 17 incident at Maurice Nagar police station remains part of the case, and teacher groups had pressed the university for stronger discipline to signal greater protection for faculty on campus.
