Barely a week after he was forced to resign under a cloud following allegations of sexual misbehaviour, Dr Gautam Bhong, vice-principal of Abasaheb Garware College, took back his resignation on September 19. His reason for the move? He “changed his mind”.

While college authorities are yet to take a call, the move has left Bhong’s victims gobsmacked. The alleged victims included both female students and staff, but none of them had officially registered a complaint against him. They had told mid-day that Bhong used to send lewd text messages to his victims and was infamous for his approach to women.
