A teacher at Lucknow University has been detained by the police on charges of allegedly offering to leak an examination paper to a female student in exchange for sexual favours. The incident came to light after an audio recording of the conversation between the teacher and the student surfaced online, sparking widespread outrage.
Details of the Alleged Incident
According to sources, the teacher contacted the female student and proposed that he would provide her with the exam paper before the scheduled test. In return, he demanded that she comply with his inappropriate demands. During the alleged phone call, the teacher is heard pressuring the girl to meet him personally, promising her academic benefits and better grades. The student, however, repeatedly expressed her inability to meet his demands and recorded the conversation as evidence.
Audio Leak and Police Action
The audio clip, which has since gone viral on social media platforms, captures the teacher making explicit propositions and attempting to coerce the student. Following the leak, the university administration launched an internal inquiry, and the local police registered a case against the teacher under relevant sections of the law. The accused was taken into custody for further investigation.
University officials have condemned the act and assured strict action. A spokesperson stated, “We have zero tolerance for such behaviour. The teacher has been suspended pending a detailed inquiry, and we will ensure justice is served.”
Broader Concerns
This incident has reignited discussions about the safety of female students on campus and the misuse of authority by educators. Student groups have demanded stricter measures to prevent such misconduct and called for a transparent investigation. The police have urged other potential victims to come forward and report any similar incidents.
The case highlights the urgent need for robust mechanisms to address harassment and corruption in educational institutions. Authorities are now examining the teacher’s phone records and other digital evidence to uncover the full extent of his actions.
