DU Principal Faces Sexual Harassment Allegations; Report Submitted
Imagine a school where a teacher is accused of making inappropriate comments and gestures towards other teachers.
A special group looked into the complaints and found them serious enough to warrant further investigation.
The teacher denies the accusations and says he is being targeted unfairly.
The committee discovered that the teacher may have made comments about their bodies.
Now, the college will further investigate this matter.
The teacher has been suspended, but he is fighting back, saying he is innocent and the group investigating him was unfair.
A fact-finding committee found sufficient basis to refer sexual harassment allegations against a Delhi University college principal to the ICC.

The principal denied the allegations and challenged the committee's formation.
The complainants reported feeling threatened and unsafe due to the principal's position.
The principal has been suspended and has challenged the action in the Delhi High Court.
