Obscene acts, exploitation caught on camera

The accused professor said that he was facing such allegations for the past 18 months and several investigations were also held. The professor indulges in obscene acts with the girls and then exploits them and makes their videos, the complainant said in her letter last week to the Women Commission and other senior officials. The complainant alleged that she had made complaint against this but no action has been taken yet.

"(Narendra) Modi government supports 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' but even after that such people are committing cruelty with daughters. I am so troubled by this cruel person that sometimes I think of committing suicide," the complainant said in the letter. "Please save the girl students... Due to public shame, no girl student will say anything. Therefore, please take strict action against this monster and provide justice to many girls like me," she added. The complainant has also sent some photos in which the professor is seen indulging in obscene acts, police said. This matter is viral on social media.
