Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Professor Rajnish Kumar on the run after he was caught sexually exploiting girl students in his office at Seth Phool Chand Bagla PG College

The Hathras Police in Uttar Pradesh have booked a 54-year-old professor and chief proctor of Seth Phool Chand Bagla PG College for allegedly raping female students.

The accused, identified as #RajneeshKumar, has been absconding after the police on March 13 filed a First Information Report (FIR) against him under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections 64 (rape), and 68 (sexual intercourse by a person in authority), and section 66 (computer-related offences) of the IT Act.

“The FIR has been lodged against the professor by the incharge of the industrial area police outpost. We are hopeful of his arrest soon, but at present, he has managed to escape soon after getting information about the police action against him,” said Chiranjeevi Nath Sinha, Superintendent of Police.

The complaint against Kumar, the geography department head, was submitted anonymously to the National Commission for Women (#NCW), higher police officials, and local representatives last year. The complainant also provided about a dozen photographs of the accused in objectionable position with several students from the college. Around 59 videos of the accused with students have surfaced on social media following the filing of the FIR.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (Hathras city) Yogendra Krishna Narayan conducted an inquiry into the matter for nearly a month. He attempted to identify the students in the photographs but was unsuccessful. “The college authorities did not cooperate with the police during my investigation,” he told the local media.

The SP then handed the investigation to Additional SP Ashok Kumar Singh, who is believed to have discovered crucial evidence against the professor. He submitted his findings to the SP, who then instructed the local police to file the FIR and ordered prompt arrest of the accused.

The college administration, however, has remained silent regarding the issue. Sources indicated that the professor faced multiple accusations of sexual harassment from students in the past, but he was able to suppress those complaints. This is the first instance in which an FIR has been filed against him.
