PhD scholar in MKU files complaint against guide

Madurai:09.12.2018

A full-time PhD scholar of Madurai Kamaraj University has lodged a complaint of harassment against her guide with the registrar of the university. Apart from harassment, she has claimed that the guide took her as a full-time research scholar after obtaining 2 lakh from her.

However, K Karnamaharajan, the guide and head of the department of the centre for film and electronic media studies, rubbished the complaint as “absolutely false and fabricated”. He suspected that it was a motivated complaint at a time when he had issued a showcause notice to her for taking unauthorized leave. “I am planning to meet the registrar to seek his permission to conduct a press meet, where I will come out with the evidences,” he said.
