The complainant has also accused Prof. Dalip Singh of making unceremonious comments in the departmental meetings which hurt the dignity and pride of a woman
Sources in the University divulge that taking strong cognizance of the complaint, the Vice Chancellor Prof. MP Singh Ishar handed over the case to the newly appointed DAA, Prof. Neelam Saraf for ascertaining the facts. "Yes the complaint has been received from the lady Assistant Professor and due to the serious nature of allegations made, the same has been referred to a probe committee comprising senior university professors, which shall verify the issues raised by the complainant," confirmed Prof. Saraf when contacted.
