LUCKNOW: An MBBS intern of 2012 batch in King George's Medical University (KGMU) was booked on charges of sexually harassing a junior in the central library of the university. Though the incident took place on Tuesday, the FIR was lodged by the university chief proctor on Thursday.
This is the third incident of harassment or violence involving KGMU students in which a complaint with the police was lodged in this academic session so far.
According to the FIR, the accused harassed a group of juniors in the 24-hour central library study hall at around 9.40pm on Tuesday by misbehaving with them and throwing away their belongings. One of the juniors, a 2014 batch girl student, alleged that the accused also touched her inappropriately. She said that the accused first made an attempt to talk to her but when she refused, he touched her with wrong intentions. The group then informed senior faculty members and chief proctor. They also claimed that the accused had harassed them and other batch mates earlier as well.
The junior students also lodged a written complaint with the chief proctor, who later registered an FIR.
Chief proctor RS Kushwaha said, "Both female and the male students complained about how the accused harassed or assaulted them. Since the behaviour of the accused person was inappropriate, we have lodged the complaint with the police who will investigate the case and based on their findings, will take necessary action. The accused is currently working in the forensic department and his entry in hostels and library has been barred."
"The librarian has been instructed to allow entry to only those who have a valid pass," he added. SHO, Chowk, Pankaj Singh said, "We are recording the statements of the eyewitness of the incidents and the victim, following which we will take action against the accused."
(The victim's identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme Court directives on cases related to sexual assault)
