Inquiry panel to probe professor assault

THE University of Delhi constituted a six-member inquiry committee to investigate the alleged assault on professor Sujit Kumar, a faculty member of Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar College, by Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) joint secretary Deepika Jha and other members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). The incident reportedly occurred inside the principal's office on Thursday, in the presence of police personnel.

Kumar, who serves as the convener of the college's disciplinary committee, is a senior faculty member at DU. The altercation allegedly broke out when a group of around 50 students, accompanied by DUSU president Aryan Maan and Jha, entered the college premises demanding Kumar's resignation.
