West Bengal Professor Resigns Following Viral 'Classroom Marriage' Video
The professor claims the video was part of a psycho-drama project, but an inquiry panel found it to be an inappropriate skit from a freshers' program.
- A senior psychology professor at MAKAUT in West Bengal offered her resignation after backlash over a viral video showing her performing marriage rituals with a student in a classroom.
- The professor stated the video was part of a psycho-drama project conducted with university and student consent, but this claim was rejected by a university inquiry panel.
- The university's five-member all-woman panel determined the act was an inappropriate skit from a freshers' welcome program, not an academic project.
- The professor alleged the video was deliberately leaked by a colleague to harm her career and announced plans to pursue legal action.
- MAKAUT officials confirmed the resignation is under review, with the professor having been placed on leave since January 29 following the video's circulation.
