A teacher of the School of Drama has been arrested on the complaint of raping a student. Dr Sunil Kumar, was arrested from Kannur following the protests staged by students.
Earlier, the University of Calicut had suspended following a girl lodging complaint against two teachers of the campus.
The girl first lodged the complaint against the teacher, who came as visiting faculty on November 21, for sexual assault. The students had complained to the departmental head and senior teachers, but no action was taken. In the meantime, another teacher S Sunil Kumar, came forward supporting her.
He first spoke softly, but later in the night, used to call her drunk and spoke in a lewd manner. He told her that he was in love with her and sexually abused her forcibly.
Unable to bear the mental stress, she attempted suicide on February 13. The students had been protesting for the past three days demanding his arrest.
