An associate professor at a civic-run hospital in Mumbai has been suspended following allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him by a MBBS student there. The case has now been transferred to the complaints committee of the Savitribai Phule Women’s Resource Centre, which operates under the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters. The investigation committee will submit its findings after a thorough inquiry, and any further actions will be taken based on the committee’s conclusions, as confirmed by the BMC administration.
