A faculty of a private dental college in Chennai on Sunday uploaded a video on Facebook alleging harassment by the college authorities and appealed for help.
The college authorities, however, claimed that she was in a state of depression.
The woman, working as an assistant professor in Tagore Dental College, affiliated to the Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University, claimed in the video message that she was being subject to frequent “abuse and torture”. She said she had been living on the campus for over a year-and-a-half and was being threatened by the senior faculty.
“When I go to the staff room, they push me out in front of the students.” She claimed that she had been locked up in a room without food for two weeks and without water for two days. She, however, did not give any reasons for the alleged harassment.
A senior college official said an inquiry had been instituted.
Legal consultant of the college M. Deivanandam claimed the woman showed signs of depression. Recently, she posted a photo of a self-inflicted injury on WhatsApp. According to him, the college authorities advised her to remove the photo and warned her of disciplinary action if she repeated such acts. “Her attendance is also very poor,” he said.
