In the latest update on the news of an assistant professor being forced to resign from Kolkata’s Xavier’s university in 2021 due to pictures of her in a swimsuit on her Instagram account, the institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Father Felix Raj, has denied the allegations stating that the teacher quit on her own and that “it is humiliating to assume that the university would do so”.

The teacher, whose identity is unrevealed, had joined the university in August 2021 and was said to have been forced to quit by the university administration, who accused her of corrupting young minds with ‘objectionable’ pictures on a public platform. The administration had received a complaint from the father of an undergraduate student, who had stated that he had seen his son looking at the bikini-clad pictures of his teacher on Instagram.
