In a significant turn of events at Ramjas College, Delhi University, a professor stepped down amid sexual harassment allegations, sparking campus-wide protests. The incident, reported last December, involves a minor female student and has drawn ire from various student bodies.

Protests rapidly unfolded with factions like the All India Students Association (AISA) and the Students Federation of India (SFI) joining forces against the administration's perceived inaction.
