A leading private university in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata has been embroiled in an ugly controversy in recent months.
She was informed that there had been a complaint against her from the father of a first-year undergrad male student. "For once I couldn't bear to look at my own photographs, the way they were presented to me and the conversation around them made even me think of them as cheap. I realised I was being gaslit, I started feeling sabotaged.
If she didn't do it, he said, she "would go to prison because the parent wanted to lodge a police complaint and I would be arrested"."But I also felt very angry and sought legal advice. Because my photographs were downloaded, screenshots were taken and shared without my consent, my lawyer suggested I lodge a complaint of sexual harassment with the cyber-crime police," she said.
On being asked about her assertion that the photos could not possibly be available on her Instagram feed after she joined the university and her accusation that she's being sabotaged by a faculty member, Father Felix Raj said he was "not an expert on technology".The action against the teacher has been criticised by many students and former students for being "regressive".
