Overview
- More than 10 students accused an invited speaker of harassment during Antas on November 24, including surreptitious photography and groping, after he was found naked in his room the previous night.
- Antas’ official Instagram issued a November 25 apology acknowledging unacceptable conduct toward volunteers and said appropriate action was taken.
- Volunteers withdrew and the guest was escorted off campus that evening, with students saying he was not formally informed of the allegations.
- Principal Karuna Gokarn says the college contacted the speaker’s university, lodged a complaint with Azad Maidan police, directed victims to the Internal Complaints Committee, and is reviewing November 24 CCTV footage.
- Zone 1 DCP Pravin Munde says no FIR or non-cognizable complaint is on record and urged students to approach police, as petitions pressing for faculty accountability gathered signatures and were later partly withdrawn.
