NEW DELHI: A professor at Delhi University's Ramjas College—accused of sexual harassment by a student in December—stepped down on Wednesday from his role as the Joint Dean of Students' Welfare at DU.
The professor told HT that he resigned by emailing vice-chancellor Yogesh Singh. However, it remains unclear if the resignation has been accepted.
"Due to these allegations, I am finding it extremely challenging to continue my additional duties as Joint Dean, Students' Welfare, University of Delhi. In light of these circumstances, I kindly request your consideration...to ensure that the functioning of the office is not compromised," he wrote in his resignation letter.
DU registrar Vikas Gupta said, "I have no knowledge of this," while the V-C declined to comment.
The professor had been suspended from teaching for six weeks after a complaint was filed with Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) in late December.
Denying any wrongdoing, he said the case was a "conspiracy" linked to academic disagreements.
Earlier, members of Students' Federation of India (SFI) and Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) clashed during protests demanding stricter action.
Stanzin Deskyong, vice president of the Ramjas Students' Union, alleged, "Protesters were beaten with sticks and flowerpots."
The ABVP denied involvement, claiming they were also protesting the professor's suspension.
