A university in Madhya Pradesh has initiated a probe following complaints from students alleging that a professor was propagating Islam and harassing Hindu students. This was confirmed by a senior varsity official on Monday.
The accused professor, Anis Sheikh, has denied the allegations and pledged to present his side to the investigation committee. Controversy erupted when Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) members accused Sheikh of disseminating Islamic material via WhatsApp and harassing Hindu students.
ABVP also organized a protest on the campus. Vice-Chancellor Akhilesh Pandey announced that a committee has been formed to scrutinize the issue. Sheikh has been temporarily relieved from his duties during the investigation. He claims he is being unfairly targeted and that the accusations are baseless.
