Lucknow University professor booked for indecent comments on Kashi Vishwanath

LUCKNOW: A professor of Hindi Department of Lucknow University (LU)was accused of making indecent and disagreeable remarks on Kashi Vishwanath and saints in a video.
A student of LU, Aman Dubey of Sidharth Nagar and an inmate of Lal Bahadur Shastri (LBS) hostel lodged a case with the police.
In his complaint, Dubey said the professor was heard speaking foul against the temple and saints who are the base of Indian culture.
