Nalanda student suspended for sexually harassing classmates; another accused transferred

Rajgir: A student of the Nalanda International University here was today suspended on the charge of sexually harassing fellow students.

Another student, accused of the same offence, was transferred to another hostel, the university's media in-charge Smita Polite said today.

A complaint against the two was received a month back alleging they sexually harassed fellow students and action was taken against the two following the set procedure, she said.

An Internal Complaint Committee probed the matter and submitted its report on March 20 night, and after following norms, on receiving approval of the Chancellor, one student was suspended today and another was sent to another hostel yesterday, she said.

Earlier, a group of students of the university staged protest in front of Vice-Chancellor's office alleging that the authorities were not taking action against the two accused students though the complaint was lodged a month back.

Superintendent of Police of Nalanda, Kumar Ashish, visited the university to quell the unrest.

The SP told PTI that he took a delegation of students to the VC and after a talk the agitation was ended.

After going through the details about the complaint, he asked university authorities to register an FIR against the student, who has been suspended and was accused of sending threat mails to classmates.

Based on the vision of former President APJ Abdul Kalam, Nalanda International University came into existence on 25 November, 2010 here in Bihar's Nalanda district. The first academic session of the University started on September 1, 2014.
