The University of Calicut has suspended an Assistant Professor attached to its Department of English for alleged misbehaviour with a girl student.
His name was given as Haris Kodampuzha.
A release on Saturday said it was based on a report of the Internal Complaint Cell which inquired into a complaint the student had lodged with the department head and the Vice Chancellor.
It is learnt that the Tenhippalam police have registered a case against him after the university forwarded the girl student’s complaint. It is alleged that he had sent explicit messages to her over phone and tried to grab her at a public place. Mr. Haris joined the university only three months ago.
