JNU professor, accused of sexual harassment, resigns from two administrative posts

A Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) professor, who has been accused of sexual harassment by a group of women students of the university, resigned from two administrative posts on "moral grounds" today.

He, however, alleged that the allegation against him was a "motivated move" by students with vested interests.

Speaking to PTI, the professor said, "I resigned on moral grounds. I am outraged because of this mala fide, motivated move, trying to malign my character. I feel mentally harassed."
