A woman lecturer of a private college in Tamil Nadu was today taken into custody in connection with her alleged advise to students "to adjust with some officials" in return for higher marks and money, in what is seen as a suggestion for sexual favour.
Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit, the Chancellor of Madurai Kamaraj University to which the college is affiliated, set up a 'high powered enquiry' committee to look into 'certain immoral' happenings surrounding the lecturer.
Though the lecturer of Devanga Arts College in Aruppukottai was alleged to have made the overtures a month ago, the issue came to light after an audio of purported conversation between her and some students went viral in the social media yesterday.
In the audio, she is heard suggesting that the girls adjust with some (education) officials, "for getting 85 per cent mark and money."
