The Jammu and Kashmir government has ordered a probe into alleged sexual harassment of a girl student by a professor of a university in Rajouri district, an official said.
A girl student had on Wednesday complained against a professor for allegedly sexually harassing her.
"An enquiry has been initiated into a very serious complaint of sexual harassment against the professor filed by girl students of Baba Ghulam Shah University," Deputy Commissioner Shahid Iqbal Choudhary said.
The DC issued a notice to the vice chancellor of the BGSB University with regard to initiation of probe into it.
The officer said, "A prima facie case has been made, based on the evidence presented in the form a Compact Disc (CD) with recorded conversations apart from written complaint received through registered speed post."
