In a similar incident, a professor from the National Law Institute University (NLIU) in Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal had resigned recently due to sexual harassment allegations by some of his students. “No student has come to us with a complaint yet. A woman police officer has been in contact with the students, but they have sought some more time to take a call about filing a complaint,” Bhopal police commissioner Makrand Deoskar told PTI.
