The students also demanded that the investigation be carried under district judge Girijabala Singh, who earlier was the registrar of the university.
Shivraj Singh, after meeting with the students, said:
Talking to The Quint, Tapan Mohanty said that he has been teaching for the last 22 years –and there has never been a complaint against him. He also alleged that this was being concocted by some internal members of the university.
