LU teacher seeks more time


LUCKNOW: The six-member committee set up by Lucknow University vice-chancellor (VC) Prof MK Mishra to probe into allegations of `sexual harassment' levelled against a teacher will take a little longer to investigate and find out the truth.

The girl students of second semester of bachelor of tourism administration course had accused their teacher Ajai Kumar of indecent behaviour and acdemic laxity in their written complaint submitted to the V-C on April 8. It was on April 9 that the V-C had constituted a committee and made Prof Rakesh Chandra, dean, students welfare, LU, the convenor of the committee.

The committee was to give the report within a week. However, the committee which recorded the statements of 35 students and the teacher has asked the V-C for a little more time. The final report which was to be submitted by Wednesday afternoon will now be handed over to the V-C on April 27.

"We need little more time for deliberations," said Prof Chandra. The contents of the report have not been discussed by the committee so far. Though most of the members could have already signed the report by Tuesday itself. The matter being sensitive has kept committee from disclosing it.
