After the complaint, pressure was put on the assistant professor
Not only this, he was held hostage for an hour using caste-specific words and abusive words. Ever since I filed a complaint against my harassment, Prof. Prahlad Kumar, Prof. Manmohan Krishna and Javed Akhtar keep on pressuring them to withdraw the said complaint. They keep sending many anti-social elements to me. They keep harassing me in different ways. On the basis of this Tahrir, the Colonelganj police had registered a report and investigated. Now in this case warrant has been issued by the CJM court to all the three accused.
University inquiry committee found nothing in the investigation
Public Relations Officer of Allahabad University Dr. Jaya Kapoor told that the university had taken Deepshikha Sonkar’s complaint seriously and the complaint was immediately given to the committee (CKash) constituted as per rules by the then Vice-Chancellor. The committee had made a detailed inquiry into the matter and Dishikha’s complaint was found to be completely baseless. During this, Sonkar did not even answer the questions sent by the committee and did not present any evidence in relation to his allegations before the committee.
The committee was described as uncooperative and disobedient by Sonkar’s co-workers, while no complaint of any kind came to the notice of the conduct of all the three accused teachers. Due to his non-cooperation and not being able to give evidence in favor of his point of view, the committee found his complaint motivated by defamation of the department and its senior professors and the university.
