GADVASU Professor Arrested in Email Case; Probe Shifts to Gurdaspur
A professor named Dr. Navdeep Singh was arrested for sending emails that were considered mean and untrue about other people.
The police officer's wife, who works at a university, complained about the emails.
Because the police who were investigating might have been biased, the case was given to another police department to investigate.
The emails talked about another professor's promotion and mentioned the police officer's wife, who is claimed to be trying to get her recruited.
The professor who was arrested is suspended, and the university is deciding what to do with another professor involved.
